The Promise

He walked away and didn’t smile.
The man will leave. The boy will cry.
To stand out in his freedom.
But his freedom hasn’t freed him.

They spoke in faith. They prayed their vows.
Her broken face is longing now
To turn back the hands of time,
But she doesn’t know how.

What about the promise that we made?
And the vows we freely made before God?
Wonder what he’s thinking of…
The promise… the promise that we made.

The longing heart, the searching soul
Will search and never find a home
‘Til Jesus comes and takes control.
And He takes the promises that you left behind.
He resurrects the dead to life.
And you can run but you can’t hide from your life.

So what about the promise that we made?
And the vows we freely made before God?
Wonder what he’s thinking of…
The promise… the promise that we made.
And the vows we freely made before God.
Wonder what he’s thinking of…
The promise… the promise that we made.

Well I know that your heart is aching now.
Just let it go, and let God turn it
Turn it all around, yeah.
Turn it all around, yeah.
Turn it all around, yeah.
Turn it all around, yeah.

Oh the promise, oh the promise.
Oh the promise, oh the promise
That we made.
