Nak Jently Shares a Testimony of Faith in “You Have Spoken”
Gospel artist Nak Jently has released “You Have Spoken,” a heartfelt worship song born from a personal journey of delays, setbacks, and learning to trust God’s promises.
The song was inspired by a season when Nak sought God concerning unfulfilled dreams and visions. Through Scripture, she was reminded to trust God’s work in her life rather than worry about how everything would come together.
Years later, her renewed journey of worship, including her experience with the Hallelujah Challenge, helped bring the song to life with contributions from Mr. Wols, Matthew Harden, the Holy Cross Lutheran School choir, and others.
“You Have Spoken” encourages anyone waiting on God’s promises to remember His past faithfulness and continue trusting what He has spoken.
Lyrics
AD LIB
Jesus You’re good
Yeah
VERSE 1
What more can I say?
You know what I’m really like on good and bad days
But according to Your will
Great things You have promised to fulfill
Only words of truth
Come from Your mouth
And You said
It pleases You to bless this house
CHORUS
You have spoken greater
And when You grant a blessing it’s forever
You have spoken greater
And when You make a promise it’s forever
VERSE 2
There is none like You
Your promises are forever true
You performed great miracles
And You drove out the obstacles
Only You can do
These great things I see
And You said
It pleases You to reveal them to me
CHORUS (2x)
VAMP (2x)
It’s forever
It’s forever
BRIDGE (2x)
Forever Your mercy is greater
Your compassion is greater
Your forgiveness is greater
Forever (and ever and ever)
Forever Your mercy is greater
Your compassion is greater
Your forgiveness is greater
Forever
TAG (4x)
You have spoken
Concerning me
And I’m grateful
I’m grateful
TURNAROUND (4X)
For the Lord is good
In each generation Your mercy stood
As a promise of Your faithfulness
Forever

ABOUT NAK JENTLY JOURNEY
Like many, I started in a kids choir where I was taught to sing in church. Youth choir is where I learned the foundation of worship, so it was important to me to record with young voices. My hope is always to pour into young people the way I was poured into as a child.
When I went to college, I stopped singing for a long time because I was growing my movement skills in competitive dance. Eventually, competition became wearisome for me, and my love for singing brought me back to choir and praise team, where I could focus on an audience of one— Jesus.
Unfortunately, my focus wasn’t as devoted as I wanted it to be because my walk with the Lord was full of stumbling, failing, and falling. It wasn’t until I experienced a season of great losses that I saw the Lord “surround me with songs of deliverance” like David mentioned in psalm 32:7 when he was reflecting on God’s forgiveness. In that season, I saw God do what I call putting tunes to my tears. My weeping while worshipping before Jesus opened my spirit up to receiving the responses that he was giving me.
I began to grow in my desire to spend time in His presence. It was in that place of worship that I received His love letters, His corrections, and His instructions through melodies. Eventually, the melodies came often enough that I realized the Lord had given me a new gift of writing music, even though I didn’t play a traditional instrument. My voice became my trumpet and I learned to work with audio engineers to produce the music.
