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 through this world alone.
(Hmmmmmm!)
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 lonliness 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!
(Choruse1)
Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep.
My grace will be suffiecent in every time of need
and my love will be the anchor that you can hold onto.
This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you.

I never said that friends would never turn thier 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 dispised.
And I did say, my ways confound the wise. The Martins - The Promise - http://motolyrics.com/the-martins/the-promise-lyrics.html
I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death
or 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)
and I did say Ill dry every tear you cry!
(Choruse 2)
Cause you know I made a promise that I've prepared
a place,
and some day 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 pormise, this is the promise I've made to you!

(Bridge)

So just keep on walkin, 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 gunna make
it through. This is the promise, this is the promise
I made to you.
