LOVE never promised
we'd ne'er shed a tear . . .
but promised HIS presence
would always be near ~

Promised to make a way
where there seemeth none . . .
Gave us a Redeemer
His only Begotten Son ~

The Saviour and Conqueror
to walk along side . . .
a Friend for ALL seasons
in whom we can hide ~

LOVE did not promise
we 'd never have a need . . .
our lives be not touch'd
by heartache & greed ~

HE said HE'D provide
HE promised to heal . . .
when pain is our portion
rejection our meal ~

LOVE promised deliverance
from the enemy's snare . . .
ahhhhhhh ~ beauty for ashes
and answers to prayer !
