I'll Not Forget You

Sarah's waiting in a crown of silver hair

Maternal heart still aching

A promised ray of hope, a child to bear

No child is here, is this not fair?

Her labor of love has no device

Faithful in silent sacrifice

Has Heaven forgotten?

Is God still there?

He says, "Learn to trust me"

"I'll not forget you,

I'll not forget you,

I'll not forget you,

I'll not forget you"

Abraham is marking time as years go by

Hiding his pain in laughter

And every night he's counting stars that fill the sky

So sure his dream has passed him by

Doubting, his vision's not so clear

What did God say, what did I hear?

Has heaven forgotten?

Is God still there?

He says, "Learn to trust me"

"I'll not forget you,

I'll not forget you,

I'll not forget you,

I'll not forget you"

Ooooh!

Oh! And every day in pain, I wait

I can't help but wonder why

You promise me your love and say goodbye

Please don't say goodbye!

I'll not forget you

I'll not forget you

I'll not forget you

I'll not forget you, oh!

When you walk alone

When you break inside

(I'll not forget you)

When a loved one dies

(I'll not forget you

I'll not forget you)

When your youth is gone

(I'll not forget you

I'll not forget you)

Oh in an empty home

(I'll not forget you

I'll not forget you)

When your health has gone

(I'll not forget you)
