I Promised You

I Promised You

Many times, I've promised Lord to follow
promised to, say when all around was silent.
Loving You, with all the love that was within me.
And afterall, I turned again denying You.

Forgive me, Lord,
forgive me oh Lord
and wash away with Your love
the misery that lies in my heart of stone. (Repeat)

I promised to, be always close beside You
never leave You alone, even for a moment.
I promised Lord, not to turn my back again upon You
and afterall, I turned around denying You.

Forgive me, Lord,
forgive me oh Lord
and let there shine in my soul the light
you poured in me from upon the cross (Repeat)

I promised to be strong in trials and darkness,
never falling away, or being lead by raging currents.
I promised you, to fight on bravely not turn coward
and afterall, I turned around again denying you.

Forgive me Lord,
forgive me oh Lord
and let there live in my soul the clarity and light that flows from your word.
(Repeat)
