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 through this world alone.
Mm-hmm-hmm.
And I did say, don"t make this world your home.
I didn't say 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 no I made a promise that I entend to keep
My grace will be sufficeint, in ever 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 freinds would never turn their back on you
Or that the wourld 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
Are have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest.
But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
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 that some day sooner than you think, you'll see Me face to face.
And you'll sing with the angels and the 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 seperate us.
And you're gonna make it through.
This 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.
Ooh.
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh.
