The Promise

I turn back the hands of time
To see what I've left behind
All the memories within my heart
Deep within my mind
I see all the hardships I've endured
And I'm rest assured
That You'll be there beside me
Like You've always been time and again

And with all that's said and done
You've always been the one
To hold me on those rainy days
When I couldn't see the sun
And when all the clouds disappear
And my skies are clear
I feel Your love shining down on me
Without Your love where would I be

You were the One
Who wiped the tears from my eyes
It was Your love that gave me light
Through my darkest times
You were the One
What You've given me I can never repay
All I can give to You is my loving embrace
'Cause I live to see the smile upon Your face
Day by day

I promise to go on
Until my race is won
And the knowledge You have given me
I give to those I love
And I've learned that if I do succeed
Then I shally receive
The promise of a brighter day
You give me all, You give me faith

You were the One
Who wiped the tears from my eyes
It was Your love that gave me light
Through my darkest times
You were the One
What You've done for me I can never repay
So I live my life according to Your name
(All the things You've done for me, Lord)
'Cause I live to see the smile upon Your face
Day by day

Your love it always pulled me through oh yeah
And when I felt the hope was gone it was only You
Until my dying day in my heart You'll always be
And I'm so thankful for the love You've given me
Now I see

You were the One
Who wiped the tears from my eyes
It was Your love that gave me light
Through my darkest times
You were the One
What You've done for me I can never repay
I won't fail You, this I promise here today
'Cause I'd die to see the tears come down Your face
So I'll live in You, I will live in Your name
The rest of my days

Don't You cry no more
