God’s Promises

Our precious Lord never promised us an easy road in life.
But He promised He’d be with us to help us face the strife.

He never promised us that we would never suffer grief.
But He promised He’d be with us to help provide relief.

He never promised us that we’d never have a broken heart.
But He promised to be with us to help ease the aching part.

He never promised us our life would be free of pain.
But He promised He’d be with us to help ease our suffering.

He never promised us that our life would be free of stress.
But He promised He’d be with us to help put our souls at rest.

He never promised us an abundance of earthly treasures.
The ones He promised are up above in unbelievable measures.

God will never break His promises, on that we can depend.
The most important promise was the Son He was to send.

By trusting all His promises and by trusting in His only Son,
We’ll overcome our earthly perils for the battle we have won.
