I'm crying as I write this. I'm a 69 year old combat disabled Marine having been disabled 50 years ago. As I get older it gets harder. Recently I found your song, The Promise, that you performed with he Gathers. When I'm having a bad day and things seem impossible, I play it, over and over. I cry the whole time. Then, I have the understanding and strength to go on. My faith is unshakable but when one sits alone, in pain, full of regrets, this song, and specifically your performance, gives me the renewed strength I need. I've listened to this about 15 times today. Thank you, all three of you, so very much. May God bless your lives and sustain your ministry as long as it serves His needs. I pray you see this with the hopes it blesses your hearts and lives as you and it have blessed mine.
Call it all practice for the real event when we see Him face to face. Cling to HIM through it all and thank Him that the best is yet to come for you. Blessings and gratitude for your service.

I never said that I would give you silver or gold Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold But I did say you'd never walk through this world alone And I did say, don't make this world your home I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight But I did say I'd be right there by your side And I did say I'll always help you fight 'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep My grace will be sufficient in every time of need My love will be the anchor that you can hold onto This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool But I did say like me, you'll surely be despised And I did say my ways confound the wise I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side (yeah, yeah) And I did say I'll dry every tear you cry 'Cause you know I made a promise that I've prepared a place And some day sooner than you think you'll see me face to face And you'll sing with the angels and a countless multitude This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you So just keep on walkin', don't turn to the left or right And in the midst of darkness, let this be your light That hell can't separate us and you're gonna make it through This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you, oh This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you ❤
I recently lost my darling first love to cancer. He served as a Senior Crown Prosecutor in the UK for over 25 years and returned to his homeland and served as special prosecutor in the highest court in the land, Court of Appeal, serving as a voice for the voiceless. But more than this, he served His Lord by the life he lived, the witness he shared with his colleagues and clients. He loved his children, his wife and his Lord. Yes, we all have regrets but thank God for His mercy and faithfulness that we have the blessed hope of reuniting with our loved ones.
We've loved this song for years. My sister is breathing her last sometime tonight in a Texas hospital, and due to my husband's poor health we remain home in Michigan. My niece and nephew are there with their mother. But I trust in The Promise of Jesus and know it will be alright.
This song was sang 11yrs ago but even now it’s still helping a lot of people get moving like me🎉 It helps me cling on to bible promises Ever since I listened to it it’s among my best songs
3 months after I lost my dad and I play this song so many times because it reassures me that God is still with me and His grace will be sufficient even in this difficult time.
I originally saw this video on tbn back in 2013 when I was a baby Christian. God used it then and I remember weeping on my kitchen floor, knowing that Jesus loved me and I loved Him and was willing to go through it all for Him. Here I am, in 2022, still weeping because it’s still so true and every line still resonates with my current season. Thank you Lord for your perfect plan. May we all run the race with endurance until we meet you face to face.
"WHAT A POWERFUL ANOINTING SONG"!!!!!! A song for all times. Old but relevant to today's times and will be tomorrow. I can listen to this song over and over again and never get tired of listening to it. Very much scriptural, very encouraging, very uplifting. It brings tears of joy and hope as you sing and listen. Thank you Father, for the Martins, thank you Jesus for preserving this song, thank you Holy Spirit for inspiring the writer/writers. All praise to the Trinity. Amen!!!!
This song has been an encouragement to me and my spouse in our seasons of life. To anyone listening and watching may it be so to you in whatever the situation. Our God is real and the devil is real but to those who choose to set their hearts and minds in Jesus will emerge victorious. Our heavenly father says: "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Heb 13:5b. Hallelujah! Lord come!
A PRAYER FOR VISITORS TO THIS FORUM. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seeks to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movie, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES. LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned inorder for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their doors until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again, I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

God sent this message to me this morning........ I've been lonely for a long time now I've felt empty, unloved and betrayed by someone I trusted soo much...... I've had lonely days and nights, I've cried..... I've listened to this song 5 times this morning and I feel that this message was directed to me.... Thank you God for the promise! 🙏🙏
Never heard this before, I see it’s been around 10 years…..but today GOD SHOWED UP ……it literally has given me the courage to fight the dibilitating demon of suicide that has plagued our family…. Thank you for this truth …. Straight from your word…. You are faithful even when I’m not…. Tear’s streaming down my face hear the lyrics over and over and over ministering to the very essace of my soul and giving strength to believe he is with me RIGHT NOW…fighting for me to make it through
Please, your family, friends, and most importantly Jesus Christ LOVES YOU, please reach out to somebody, and you will find out you are Not alone in this world..Best Wishes, E.T. !!
Praise God for that testimony. He has paid the price all we have to do is accept it with an earnest heart and live for Him with a child like faith never turning back because there's nothing to turn back to. God bless you always 🙏.
The spirit of Suicide always follows with the spirit of depression. They always travel together. They are both actual demonic spirits. Confessing that you know that they are demons, is half of the battle already won.
This song will be forever my anchor. They found bloodclods in left upper leg. And the sweet promise of God that He will see me through. I taste fear because they want to remove my leg I walk around with death in my because some of the clods went through my lungs. But God's promise that He will never leave me see me through. I did not loose my leg. And my health is getting better every day. Thank you Martin's. This song will be forever my testimony. Gerda from Namibia africa. Love your music.💖💗🕊
I am a 60 year old widow lived an incredibly hard life but out of all the things that are running in my head I've learned how to leave my cares to Jesus Christ he has never left me nor forsaken he's the only Father I have ever known thank you Abba Father for loving me for providing. For your grace surely is sufficient unto the day love you my Lord Jesus 💖
Bless your heart. Its hard while going through things but the comming is really getting close. Things in the middle east are really shaping up fast. Jesus is Lord.!!!
When I first listened to this song it touched me so much that Iread the words at my brother's funeral. He lovedd Jesus so much. I pray that this song finds enterance to every heart that hears it. Be blessed Martin family
Thank you precious Jesus for being my Father, Friend, Confidant and precious Saviour🥺🤍 I don’t know where I’d be without your saving precious love and grace. Thank you so much for carrying me through over mountains and valleys for comforting me through the pain and harrowing nights of lack and tears. Thank for always coming after me day after day night after night, thank for holding me closely in your arms and being my friend and Father. I testify that your love is true and real and you’ve been so good and gracious to me🤍 and I know your love will see me through all of my days😊 so I can dance in the rain knowing I have the You by my side always🤍
I went thru’ 3- major surgeries within 12 months during a pandemic outbreak-no vaccines available and elective surgeries were closed..related to this song -one of my favorite God kept his promises and l made it through ..Hallelujah Glory be to God 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😍
Hi I am 52 years old and eight years ago, I suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke and at home recovering I found this song and just like another commenter I played this song over and over even made others sit and listen to it, it really brought me through the darkest days of my life
God bless you and everyone who has been touched by this song. I just found it also, what beautiful love it brings to us. May more people find the love Jesus has for each one of us. I’m sharing this song with family and friends. I love you all no one is ever alone unless they close the door to Jesus’s love ❤
Hi! You were awful young for that to happen. I hope you have fully recovered. I had a hemorrhagic stroke 12 years ago. When I hear this song, I can't help but remember ALL of times He has been with me. The stroke history is another example of proof. The doctors advised that my family be called in since the doctors did not know if the bleeding would stop on its own. Surgery could not be done. It was too deep in my brain. ( I did not know this at the time.) I was at peace & aware of everything. God stopped the bleeding & I am here today to thank Him & share my story! God does keep His promises!
My mum referred this song to me as we were chatting of life's challenges. She encouraged me that no matter what situation you are in there angels surrounding us. What an awesome song to keep our faith and hope burning. ❤
Asked ABBA Father to sing a song over me on the morning of my birthday September 2022 and this was the song He chose. My anchor song in this time of transition. HalleluYah. He is a covenant keeper. His words are trustworthy.
I lost my job today. I broadcast a gospel program called God's Word every Thursday for one hour. Yesterday I told the radio station manager I will not be playing paid for adds during my program. I am dedicating it to God. Today the station manager told me I had to because he is the station manager. I said no and that he would have to sack me. He did. The radio is on air for 168 hours per week and I asked for just one hour for God. Is this just another form of persecution of Christians? Every week I discussed a topic between Genesis to John and the book of Revelation, every week. I refuse to commercialise my program, God's words. God bless
I'm a Christian, a former US Marine, and ride with Bikers For Christ, Indiana. I recently moved from Indiana to Mykolaiv, Ukraine. I'm serving with a church here to feed people in our city and surrounding villages. We bring food and medical supplies to our soldiers. We have not had water for over 2 weeks, we get hit with rockets, cruise missiles, and cluster bombs. 70% of our church members before the war have evacuated. The remanent 30% that remain are sold out for the purposes of God and selflessly serve the Living God in love empowered by the Holy Spirit. They trust God daily for provisions and protection. Most can not work or earn money because the city is shut down. Staying and serving the city is a very selfless act of faith and trust. Know that there are hundreds of God's children doing His work here in Ukraine. Some have been killed on supply runs or rescues. One volunteer was arrested, several thousand dollars of supplies and medicine taken and put in a dark cell for 6 days, being questioned about Pastors, Christians, and Americans, because they want to kill them. Thank you for your prayers for Ukraine, ministries, volunteers, and our soldiers. I appreciate this wonderful song on the cost of discipleship, His promises, and the glory of God. Jesus is always enough. Much love and respect from Ukraine. Semper Fi Karl Shifflett
It's been 12 years since I first heard this song and I'm sure that I've played it more than a thousand times. It gives me strength to push through hard and murky seasons of my life and I cry the pain out. Thank you the Martins and my friend Lucy Nyambura for showing me light at the end of every tunnel I go though.
I was alone in that secular life.. I'm no longer alone now, the song is so inspiring to me thus give me great hope... and tanikiu to the 3, ....from PNG.
Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah You have not forgotten me and my son. I'm so grateful. Glory Hallelujah! The devil has been busy, and we need your help Lord Jesus. And my nieces, nephews and my siblings, and Ukrainians all need your grace and help right now! I know you have not forgotten us. You keep your promises. Thank you for being God and for keeping your promises to us all. Hallelujah Lord Jesus! 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
This song brings truth back into focus. Ministry is not meant to be easy. Life seldom meets my expectations. This world is not home. God bless The Martins, thanks Ben D. for your candid, brave comments from a couple of years ago, and thanks, Mark for sharing your God given creativity with us.
Seek Him first and everything else will be added! Please believe me!!! I say it because He DOES keep His Promises, cling to Him as He IS The Vine and we the branches, and without Him it is impossible to stay ALIVE. Blessings to ALL
SEEKING THE THINGS OF GOD IS MY FIRST PRIORITY. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING AND ALL YOUR BLESSINGS AND PROMISES. MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST ALWAYS AND ALWAYS AND FOREVER MY SAVIOR.
This is my first time listening to this song am really blessed. The lyrics are just so awesome very touching song. It has reminded me that the promise of God will always stand. Isaiah 55 vs 8 -11 .
So lovely to hear this song...Jesus is all our promise, He is with us till the eternity, how He makes us calm in the midst of the storm of our life , nothing can"t separate us from His love. Thank You Jesus , How wonderful You are, God bless all of us who listen this song.
This song is amazing, and has helped me through the grieving of my daughter's death 7 months ago. I know she's with Jesus, I'm so looking forward to seeing her again one day!💔😢
This song always renews my perspective, especially in the face of adversity. I hope it inspires you too, to reach higher towards your wildest dreams, renewing your inner strength like it does mine. I absolutely love the Martins!
Yes indeed. Jesus did not promise smooth sailing through life's journey. Thank God for Jesus and his amazing grace. Am a Papua New Guinean saved by grace.
It's fifteen years ago after my husband's death and I emotionally 💔 and physically affected when I bought a CD of Bill Gaither and heard that song 🎵 first time. I listened 🎶 five times and even today it touches my heart. It's comforting to know that my God is always there for me regardless of what I go through. Thank you God.
After starting a gospel music journey it has been so tough to move on but this song is a like an inspiration for me to believe that He who started a good work in me is up to bring it to accomplishment.
Thanks for sharing. Can relate as evidenced by the following sentences delineating how we use music to deal with pain and stir up faith. The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy. The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below. That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal. GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.
Wow! 1.3K ‘thumbs down’ .... I pray that each and every one of those individuals gets a mind-blowing revelation of the faithfulness of The Promise-Keeping Living God ... He is not a Man that He should lie ...
I've never heard this song, but I can really relate. And THAT"S an understatement. And right now, I'm going through a lot of these situations that are described here -- so here I am, in the Human Race. I want to thank The Martins for this song, and I want to thank God for bringing it to me, today, and for allowing me to hear what I needed to hear from the Holy Spirit. Thank-you Jesus!!!

ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned inorder for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their doors until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again, I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
I love this song as it gives me the strength to carry on, I lost my best friend and husband after 53yrs together, it will be 4yrs this month it does not get easier as I miss him so much. Thank you
Am here to stand on His promises even now when my heart is broken after losing my dad.I can't seem to move on from the moment I learnt dad was no more-the 12th of April 2023.Dear God please remind me of your promises.
I thought of giving up sometimes, I'm tired of fighting this life battle. I thought I'm a loser because this failure can't go away from my way. BUT when I listen this song it makes me strong, God has made a promise, He will find a solution for me, Amen
God loves you more than words can say. You are never alone. We all struggle the devil makes our sins so heavy. A burden is lighter when shared. We have all sinned, I’ve felt worthless a lot of my life. I’m not God does not make worthless things or people. He will welcome us to Heaven. It helps me to read His word. I’m praying for you.

Thank you lord indeed u have kept your promise I remember growing up in very humble family where we could hardly get something to eat Thank you lord for the constant love I can't praising you for giving me a good job
It's beyond amazing that we've got Jesus Christ as our Savior who has never broken a promise and yet we cannot keep every promise we've made with our Lord and Savior if we did we'd never had to make that many promises we're not worthy but he loves us so much to die for us I know that I've never felt like I belonged anywhere I was given drugs on my 12th birthday and I'm 37 years old today and I'm almost 3 years clean and now God has made me a pastor who preaches the kjv and hell hot and heaven sweet God can use the worst of us for his kingdom and put us where we'd never ever thought we'd be just trust him and remember that if your prayer isn't answered immediately don't stop praying it's in his time not ours God bless this song and praise God for Jesus Christ

Lyrics I never said that I would give you silver or gold Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold But I did say you'd never walk through this world alone And I did say, don't make this world your home I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight But I did say I'd be right there by your side And I did say I'll always help you fight 'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep My grace will be sufficient in every time of need My love will be the anchor that you can hold onto This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool But I did say like me, you'll surely be despised And I did say my ways confound the wise I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side (yeah, yeah) And I did say I'll dry every tear you cry 'Cause you know I made a promise that I've prepared a place And some day sooner than you think you'll see me face to face And you'll sing with the angels and a countless multitude This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you So just keep on walkin', don't turn to the left or right And in the midst of darkness, let this be your light That hell can't separate us and you're gonna make it through This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you, oh This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you
