This is the Promise

‘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
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 every time of need.
My love will be the anchor that you can hold onto
This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you.’
