[Intro]

[Verse]
Bb                                                  
■  I never said that I would give you silver or gold
   Bb                                                      
Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold
      Eb                                    Bb         
But I did say you'd never walk through this world alone
      Eb                                 Bb  
And I did say don't make this world your home
  Bb                                                 
I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night
   Bb                                                     
Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight
      Eb                         Bb          
But I did say I'd be right there by your side
      Eb                           Bb   
And I did say I'll always help you fight


[Chorus]
           Eb                                         
'cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep
Bb                                               
My grace will be sufficient in every time of need
       Eb                                            
And my love will be the anchor that you can hold onto
            Bb                  F                    
This is the promise this is the promise I made to you
Bb                                                           
I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you


[Verse]
                  Bb                                   
Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool
      Eb                            Bb Cm       Bb
But I did say like me you'll surely be despised ■ 
      Eb                           Bb  
And I did say my ways confound the wise
Eb   Bb                                                   
■  I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death
                               Bb                       
Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest
      Eb                              Bb  Cm7   Bb  
But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side
      Eb                     Bb          
And I did say I'll dry every tear you cry


[Chorus]
           Eb                                              
'cause you know I made a promise that I've prepared a place
    Bb              Eb                    Bb                 
And some day sooner than you think you'll see me face to face
Eb                                                       
And you'll sing with the angels and a countless multitude
            Bb                  Fsus4   F    Eb         
This is the promise this is the promise I've made to you


[Verse]
        Bb                         Eb                     
So just keep on walkin' don't turn ■  to the left or right


[Chorus]
F                   Bb Eb           Bb                
And in the midst of ■  darkness let this be your light
Eb                                                          
That hell can't separate us and you're gonna make it through
            Bb                  Fsus4     F          
This is the promise this is the promise I made to you
