Promise Keeper

All Your Promises are yes and amen

May it ever be so until the end

You are faithful and true

And without you I just don’t know what I would do.

So I’m grateful.

I’m so grateful

Grateful just to see some things I’ve never seen before,

Or dutifully neglected in this junction at my core..

Precious to God is the death of his saints

So I would die to live amidst the is’s and the ain’ts…

There’s so many things I long to say,

And I must say that it's cracked me open, in a way..

.

There have been incredible gifts.

There have been unwelcome shifts

Just one of the things tragedy can do so well

If you can get your heart to open up in hell.

If you can only get your heart to open up in hell.

That the very thing that Jesus did so well….
