“Final Say” — Tasha Cobbs Leonard Declares Victory With New Single
Three time GRAMMY Award winner, Billboard’s Gospel Artist of the Decade, and internationally acclaimed worship leader Tasha Cobbs Leonard has returned with an uplifting new single titled “Final Say,” released through Motown Gospel and TeeLee Records. The powerful live recording is now available on all major digital streaming platforms alongside an official performance video that captures the passion, energy, and spontaneous worship experienced during her recent TASHA UNSCRIPTED live recording event.
Recorded before a live audience earlier this year, “Final Say” introduces listeners to another remarkable chapter in Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s ministry. The Afro fusion inspired worship anthem combines infectious rhythms with a bold declaration of unwavering faith, reminding believers that no situation, diagnosis, disappointment, or obstacle has the authority to determine their future because God always has the final word.
Anchored by Tasha’s unmistakable voice and heartfelt delivery, the song carries the atmosphere of spontaneous worship that has become one of the defining characteristics of her ministry. Every lyric encourages listeners to remain confident in God’s promises regardless of what they may currently be facing. Consequently, the song serves as both a declaration of victory and an anthem of encouragement for people navigating life’s uncertainties.
Sharing the inspiration behind the release, Tasha Cobbs Leonard encouraged everyone who may be struggling to hold on to God’s promises.
“I know you’re still waiting… and honestly the news you’ve been receiving doesn’t feel aligned with what God said…
BE ENCOURAGED! GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY‼️‼️
The FINAL SAY video is live now! Take a moment to go watch it if you can! Tag someone who needs to be encouraged!”
Her heartfelt words perfectly summarize the message behind the song. While circumstances may appear overwhelming, God’s promises remain true, and His plans cannot be overturned by temporary situations.
The opening verse immediately establishes the central theme of the song with a declaration of complete trust in God’s sovereignty.
“Hey
God has the final say
Doesn’t matter what life brings my way
If I win, If I lose
All my hope is in You
All my days, my God has the final say”
These lyrics remind believers that their confidence is not based on changing circumstances but on the unchanging nature of God. Whether life brings celebration or difficulty, victory or disappointment, God’s authority remains supreme. As a result, hope can remain firmly anchored in Him.
As the song progresses, Tasha continues to encourage unwavering faith during life’s storms.
“God has the final say
Through the storm I will not be afraid
When I rise, When I fall
There’s a Name I can call
All my days, my God has the final say”
These words acknowledge that every believer experiences seasons of triumph and moments of weakness. However, the song points listeners toward the name of Jesus as the source of strength, comfort, and security through every season of life.
The bridge further magnifies God’s faithfulness and His unchanging character.
“What He says is true
He can’t Lie
He never will
He always comes through
Time after time
He’s a promise keeping God
I know I can rely on You
My God has the final say”
These declarations reinforce one of Scripture’s greatest truths, that God remains faithful to every promise He has spoken. His Word cannot fail because His character never changes. Therefore, believers are encouraged to rely completely on Him regardless of what they see around them.
The song reaches a triumphant climax with a powerful congregational declaration.
“Who has the final say
Jesus has the final say
Who has the final say
Jesus has the final say
Over every circumstance
Whatever comes my way
Who has the final say
Jesus has the final say”
This repetitive confession transforms the song into a corporate anthem of faith. It invites churches and worshippers everywhere to boldly proclaim Christ’s authority over every circumstance, challenge, sickness, delay, fear, and uncertainty.
Accompanying the audio release is an inspiring live performance video that beautifully captures the atmosphere of worship from the TASHA UNSCRIPTED recording. Supported by exceptional background vocalists and accomplished musicians, Tasha ministers with the authenticity, passion, and vocal excellence that have made her one of the world’s most beloved worship leaders. The visual presentation allows viewers to experience the powerful moments of spontaneous praise and heartfelt ministry exactly as they unfolded during the live recording.
“Final Say” follows the highly celebrated TASHA UNSCRIPTED live recording, an innovative “mic toss” style worship experience where Tasha revisited many defining songs from her catalogue while allowing room for spontaneous worship and unrehearsed moments led by the Holy Spirit. The unforgettable evening featured an extraordinary lineup of guest artists including Mickey Guyton, Kierra Sheard Kelly, Jonathan McReynolds, Israel Houghton, William Murphy, Le’Andria Johnson, Travis Greene, Dante Bowe, Melvin Crispell III, and several others. Together, they created a night of worship that reflected unity, excellence, and heartfelt devotion.
The release of “Final Say” offers listeners their first glimpse into that remarkable atmosphere while building anticipation for additional music from the live recording.
Building on this momentum, Tasha Cobbs Leonard will take the experience on the road through the TASHA UNSCRIPTED NIGHTS TOUR later this year. Designed as an intimate worship gathering rather than a traditional concert, the tour will feature beloved songs from throughout her career while creating space for spontaneous moments of worship, ministry, and personal encounters with God. Additional tour dates and cities are expected to be announced in the coming months.
