[Bb] I never said that I would give you silver gold
Or that you would never feel the fire shiver in the cold
But [Eb] I did say you'd [F] never walk through this world [Bb] alone
And [Eb] I did say don't make this world [Bb] your home
I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night
Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight
But [Eb] I did say I'd be right there [C] by your [Bb] side
And [Eb] I did say I'll always help you [Bb] fight
[Eb] But you know I made a promise that I intend to keep
My [Bb] grace will be sufficient [Bb] in every time of need
My [Eb] love will be the anchor that you can hold on to
This is the promise, this is the [F] promise I've made to [Bb] you
I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you
Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool
But [Eb] I did say like me you'll surely be [Bb] despised
[Eb] And I did say my ways confound [Bb] the wise
[Eb] I [Bb] didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death
[Eb] Or have [Bb] to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into the West
But [Eb] I did say I'd be waiting right on the [Cm] other [Bb] side
Yeah, yeah
And [Eb] I did say I'll dry every [Bb] tear you cry
Cause you know I made a promise that I'm prepared to play
And [Bb] someday sooner [Gm] than you think you'll see me face to face
And [Eb] you'll sing with the angels and a countless multitude
This is [Bb] the promise, this is [F] the promise I've made to [Eb] you
[Bb]
