The Promise-John Coltrane

Kai Miscellaneous The Promise Verse1: I turn back the hands of time To see what I’ve left behind All the memories within my heart And deep within my mind I see all the hardships I’ve endured And I’m rest assured That you’ll be there beside me Like you've always been Time and again And with all that’s said and done You've always been the one To hold me on those rainy days When I couldn’t see the sun And when all the clouds have disappeared And my skies are clear I feel your love shining down on me Without your love Where would I be? Chorus1: You were the one Who wiped the tears from (Where would I be?) My eyes It was your love that gave me life Through my darkest times You were the one What you've given me I could never repay All I can give to you Is my love and embrace Cause I live to see the smile Upon your face Day, by day Day by day Day by day I’m gonna finish this race Mmm, yes I will… Verse2: I’ve promised to go on Until my race is won And the knowledge You have given me I’ll give to those I love And I’ve learned That is I do succeed Then I shall receive The promise of A brighter day You give me hope You give me faith Chorus2: You were the one Who wiped the tears from (That’s what you've done) My eyes It was your love that gave me life Through my darkest times (You gave me hope and gave life) You were the one (You were the one) What you've done me I could never repay So I live my life According to your way (Repay all the things you've done for me oh Lord) Cause I live to see that smile Upon your face Day, by day Bridge: Ooo, your love It always pulled me through (Oh yeah) And when I felt All hope was gone There was always you (Yeah) Until my dying day in my heart You will always be And I’m so thankful for The love you've given me Now I see (Yeah) Chorus3: You were the one Who wiped the tears from my (You wiped the tears from my eyes) eyes It was your love that gave me life Through my darkest (You gave me life, yes you gave me life) times You were the one What you've given me I could never repay I won’t fail you This I promise you today Cause I’d die if saw tears Come down your face (Oh Lord) So I live in you I will live in your name The rest of My days Don’t you cry no more Oh no, no Ooo…
