The Promise

G

[Verse 1]
G
I never said that I would give you silver or gold
         G
Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold
       C                                      D         G
But I did say you'd never walk through this world alone
       C                                      G
And I did say, don't make this world your home


[Verse 2]
   G
I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night
        G
Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight
       C                          Am         G
But I did say I'd be right there by your side
       C           Am     C             G
And I did say I'll always help you fight

[Hook]
           C
'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep
Continues after the ad
   G
My grace will be sufficient in every time of need
       C
And my love will be the anchor that you can hold onto
              G                  D                    G
This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you

[Verse 3]
    G
I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you
    G
Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool
       C                             D          G
But I did say like me you'll surely be despised
       C                               G
And I did say my ways confound the wise

[Verse 4]
     G
I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death
     G
Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest
        C                                  Am       G
But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side
        C          Am          C          G
And I did say I'll dry every tear you cry

[Hook]
             C
'Cause you know I made a promise that I've prepared a place
      G
And some day sooner than you think you'll see me face to face
      C
And you'll sing with the angels and a countless multitude
             G                     D                     G
This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you

[Other]
     C
So just keep on walkin', don't turn to the left or right
     G
And in the midst of darkness, let this be your light
      C
That hell can't separate us and you're gonna make it through
              G                     D                  C
This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you
             G                      D                   G
This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you
