From John 2:5, come the words, 'Do whatever He tells you.' Jesus was attending a wedding when they ran out of wine. His mother Mary had a hunch that He could resolve the problem and told a servant to 'Do whatever he tells you.'

Heart felt describes the way I've approached songwritng ever since I first started writing lyrics in 1977. Crafting thought provoking lyrics then combining them with exciting music to deliver the songs message has always been the goal of every songwriter, myself included.

Story behind the song

This verse from John 2:5 had been one of my favorites for a long time when these words came to me, summing up what Jesus asks of all of us, obedience.
I played the power chord guitar, sang and mixed it. Ronnie Winstead programmed the drums, played the bass, acoustic and lead guitars.

Lyrics

Whatever You Say
(from John 2:5b)

-Vs.1-
I’m gonna shut my mouth and open my ears
I’m gonna tell my heart to ignore all its fears.
I’m gonna do whatever you say
Whatever you say.
-Vs.2-
I’m gonna close my eyes and walk by faith
I’m gonna laugh out loud in the devils face.
I’m gonna do whatever you say
Whatever you say.
-Ch-
I’ll do whatever you say,
No matter what it takes.
I’ll do whatever you say,
No matter what the cost.
-Vs.3-
When the going gets tough and the world laughs at me
I’m gonna hold a little tighter to the hand pierced for me
I’m gonna do whatever you say
Whatever you say.
-Vs.4-
When the sun doesn’t shine and the moon doesn’t glow
I’m gonna walk by the light of the love that I know.
I’m gonna do whatever you say
Whatever you say.
-Bridge-
And when the critics try to tell us all that you are dead
I’m gonna point to your holy word
And ask them “Why should you speak to us again
When we’ve ignored what we’ve already heard?”
