Your Promise

I don’t do well with suffering

I feel sorry for myself

And I cry out in my anguish

Why is this the hand that I’ve been dealt?

Though I try, I’m not devoid of sin

For no one is completely pure within

So, I’m scared that You’ll reject me
 I worry You’ll forget me

And I pray:
Lord have Mercy

Christ have Mercy

Lord have Mercy on my soul

Then I turn back to Your Word

Reinforce all I’ve heard

You didn’t promise to prevent the pain

You didn’t promise to wash away the rain

Your only promise was to be right by my side

Through good and bad times, low and high tide

And I feel you close to me

As I try to be who I’m meant to be

Through troubles, I struggle to be brave

Even though it’s only ease I crave 

And I pray:
Lord have Mercy

Christ have Mercy

Lord have Mercy on my soul

Then I turn back to Your Word

Reinforce all I’ve heard

You didn’t promise to prevent the pain

You didn’t promise to wash away the rain

Your only promise was to be right by my side

Through good and bad times, low and high tide

Your only promise was to be right by my side

Through good times and bad, low and high tide

And I feel you close to me

I feel you close to me…
