The Martins Album: Above It All Track: The Promise
The Promise Lyrics
I never said that I would give you silver or gold Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold But I did say you'd never walk thru this world alone And I did say don't make this world your home
I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight But I did say I'd be right there by your side And I did say I'll always help you fight
'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep My grace will be sufficient in your time of need My love will be the anchor that you can hold on to This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you
I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool But I did say like me you'll surely be despised And I did say My ways confound the wise
I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death Or have to walk thru chilly Jordan to enter into rest But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side And I did say I'll dry every tear you've cried
'Cause you know I made a promise that I've prepared a place And someday sooner than you think you'll see me face to face And you'll sing with the angels and a countless multitude This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you
So just keep on walking don't turn to the left or right And in the midst of darkness let this be your light That hell can't separate us and you're gonna make it thru This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you Oh, this is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you
