The Promise With Lyrics Artist: The Martins Chords

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I never said that I would give you silver or gold
Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold
[Eb] But I did say you'd [Bb] never walk through this [Fm] world [Bb] alone
_ _ _ And [Eb] I did say, don't make this world [Bb] your home _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Bb] I didn't say 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 [Bb] be right there [Cm] by [Bb] your side
Thank you, sweet child _
_ [Eb] And I did say, _ I'll always help [Bb] you _ fight
[Eb] Cause you know I've made a promise that I intend to keep
[Bb] My grace will be sufficient in every time of need
[Eb] My love will be the anchor that you can hold on to
This is [Bb] the promise, _ this is [F] the promise I've made to [Bb] _ you
_ _ I never said that friends would never turn their backs on [Eb] you
[Bb] Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool
[Eb] But I did say, like me, that you'll [Bb] surely [Cm] be [Bb] _ despised _ _ _ _
[Eb] I did say, _ my ways confound [Bb] the wise _ _ _ _ _
_ I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death
Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest
But [Eb] I did say, I'd be waiting right on [Bb] the [Cm] other [Bb] _ side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
_ [Eb] And I did say, I'll try every [Bb] tear you cry
_ [Eb] Cause you know I've made a promise that I'm prepared to pay
[Bb] And someday, sooner [Eb] than you think, [Bb] you'll see me face to [Eb] face
And you'll sing with the angels and the countless molten pills _
This is the [Bb] promise, this is [F] the promise I've made to [Eb] _ you
I _ _
_ [Bb] can devastate you, he will pursue you forever
[Eb] You cling to the wall, _ he's able to do [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] it
So [Eb] let us keep on walking, don't turn to the left or [Cm] right
[Bb] And in the midst of darkness, let this be your light
[Eb] Then hell can separate us, and you're gonna make it through
This [Bb] is the promise, this is [F] the promise I've made to [Gm] you
This [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] is the promise, _ this [F] is the promise _ I've made [Bb] to you
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
