The Promise

He walked away and didn't smile

The man will leave, the boy will cry

To stand out in his freedom

But his freedom hasn't freed him

And they spoke in faith they prayed their vows

But her broken face is longing now

What about the promise that we made

And the vows we freely made before God

Wonder what he's thinking of?

The promise, the promise

That we made

The longing heart, the searching soul

Will search and never find a home

'Til Jesus comes and takes control

And He takes the promises that you left behind

And He resurrects the dead to life

But you can run but you can't hide from your life

Well I know that your heart is aching now

But just let it go and let God turn it

Turn it all around, yeah

Oh, the promise

Oh, the promise

Oh, the promise

That we made
