I Don’t Have a Promise

[Verse 1: Michael Amoguis]
Come and fill the space I left on the canvas
When I removed my hand
It was just in the way
Let each branch be colorful and fruitful
Like it doesn't belong to a man

[Verse 2: Michael Amoguis]
For I brought nothing to you that I wasn't forgiven
And I won't take the time that wasn't mine at all
If we're searching for healing
I will be willing to fall

[Chorus: Michael Amoguis]
'Cause look behind you to the garden that is dying
That was mine to tend and prune and make lovely
All the tears I haven't given to the soil
And all the lack of toil is my failing

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Michael Amoguis]
This garden is meant to be a gift for someone else
Just as colors on your canvas need the space to fill
If you finish, can I see it? Will you let me be beside you?
Will He let me open greenhouse door
And show you springtime bloom?
Will we run together again?

[Chorus: Michael Amoguis & Jeremy James Whitaker]
'Cause look behind you to the garden that is dying
That was mine to tend and prune and make lovely
All the tears I haven't given to the soil
And all the lack of toil is my failing

[Bridge: Michael Amoguis]
I don't have a promise
I just have to trust
I don't have a promise
I just have to trust
I don't have a promise
I just have to trust
I don't have a promise
I just have to trust
Will you trust it too?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Jeremy James Whitaker]
'Cause look behind you to the garden that is dying
That was mine to tend and prune and make lovely
All the tears I haven't given to the soil
And all the lack of toil is my failing
