You Promised Me

(Vs)

The pull is strong, I need your help and strength

I abhor the sins I commit

Always doing wrong, when I want to do right

God I am weak, please make me fit

(Ch)

You promised me, you would hear my prayer

You promised me, you would always be there

I know you are, and you will always be

I stand on the truth, you promised me

(Vs)

The more I grow, the more I see my faults

how wretched that I really am

I just don't know, how you can love me so,

teach me this love, for my fellow man

(Ch)

You promised me, you would hear my prayer

You promised me, you would always be there

I know you are, and you will always be

I stand on the truth, you promised me

(Vs)

As I draw near, I see I'm far away

I'm nowhere near where I should be

Yet you are here, with your arms outstretched

pulling me in close, and comforting me

(Bridge)

You said that in contriteness you are there;

petitions from the heart don't go unheard

That the humbling of ones self is what's required

to be lifted up and cleansed by your Word

(Ch)

You promised me, you would hear my prayer

You promised me, you would always be there

I know you are, and you will always be

I stand on the truth, you promised me

(End Ch)

You promised me, and it will be

You promised me, life abundantly

You promised me, eternity

You promised me, you promised me
