Your Promises to Me

Throughout my pilgrimage in life,

I have witnessed many a storm.

Wreckage, heartbreak, thunder, and strife

Have, in some ways, been the norm.

Yet consistently, through and through,

Despite what I'd sometimes surmise,

God's promises have all stayed true

With every new morning's sunrise.

Though the sorrow lasts for the night,

His joy comes with the morning.

My spirit rises with the bright

Sky's illustrious adorning.

Just when I think I can't go on,

My Lord's gentle hand reminds me

There is always hope with the dawn

And I can, in good peace, just be.

Oh, Jesus, you hear my prayers.

You know about my hopes and fears,

And so humbly without grand airs,

You comfort me and dry my tears.

I have felt more joy than sorrow

Thanks to Your love and mercy.

I will not forget tomorrow

Comes with your promises to me.
