Tom: G
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
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
[Outro]
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
