I never said that I would give you silver or gold
Or that youll never feel the fire or shiver in the cold
But I did say youll never walk through this world alone
And I did say dont make this world your home
I never said that fear wouldnt find you in the night
Or that loneliness is something youll never have to fight
But I did say I′ll be right there by your side
And i did say 'Ill always help you fight
Cos you know I made a promise
My grace will be sufficient
My love will be the anchor
I never said that friends wouldn′t turn there backs on you
Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool
You'll surely be despised
And I did say my ways have found the wise
I didn′t say you′ll never taste the bitter kiss of death
Or have to walk through chilly Jordan
I'll be waiting right on the other side
And I did say I′ll dry every tear you'll cry
Cos you know I made a promise
That I′m prepared to place
And someday soon than what you think
You'll see me face to face
And you′ll sing with the angels
So... just keep on walking
Don't turn to the left or right
And in the mist of darkness
God's help can separate us
And you gonna make it through
This the promise I′ve made to you
Oooooh this is the promise
