He didn’t promise that I would never stumble,
But He did say He’d be there if I fall;
He didn’t tell me He’d hear all things I whisper,
Oh, but He did say He’d hear me if I call.
Promises, promises and all of them true,
He’s done exactly what He said He would do;
He didn’t tell me my heart would not be broken,
Oh, but He did say He’d mend it again.
He didn’t promise my cross would not be heavy,
Oh, but he did say that He my load would share;
He didn’t tell me He’d grant my hopes and wishes,
Oh, but He did say He’d hear my earnest prayer.
