God’s Promise

I didn't promise you skies painted blue
Not all colored flowers all your days through
I didn't promise you, sun with no rain
Joys without sorrows, peace without pain

All that I promise is strength for this day
Rest for my worker, and light on your way
I give you truth when you need it, my help from above
Undying friendship, my unfailing love

I never did promise you crowns without trials
Food with no hard sweat, your tears without smiles
Hot sunny days without cold wintry snows
No vict'ry without fightin', no laughs without woes

All that I promise is strength for this day
Rest for my, worker, my light on your way
I give you truth when you need it, my help from above
Undying friendship, my unfailing love

I sure didn't say I'd give you heaven on earth
A life with no labor no struggles no deaths
No earthquakes no dryspells, no fire flames no droughts
No slaving no hungers, no blizzards no blights

All that I promise is strength for this day
Rest for my worker, my light on your way
I give you truth when you need it, my help from above
Undying friendship, my unfailing love

I promise you power, this minute this hour
The power you need when you fall down to bleed
I give you my peace, and my strength to pull home
My love for all races all creeds and all kinds

My flavors my saviors my creeds of all kinds
My love for my saviors, all colors all kinds
My love for my races all creeders all kinds
My saviors my flavors my dancers all kinds
My dancers my prancers my singers all kinds
My flavors my saviors my dancers all kinds
