Remembering His Promises

I have been very convicted this past week about how quickly I forget the promises of the Lord, how quick I am to doubt Him, how fast I question His ability or intention. Hopefully we can share more soon about what happened to us this week; it is a story that is worth telling and knowing. But for now, this song has brought a whole new meaning to me these days and I wanted to share it. It's by a couple Wheaton grads, a group called, "Kepano Green." This song is called Promise.

My child, listen carefully
Listen to this song that I sing
Let it sink deep into your soul
I see the way that you’ve been hurting
Tired from the weight of your burden
But I want to come and bear your load

But I see you holding on to tears
All the questions, all of the fears
All the things that keep you from believing
But what more can I do, what must I say to prove that
I love you and I am never leaving?

Well I’ve told you this, but I don’t think you’ve heard me
So please hear me now

When you need me I’ll come to you,
And when you are weary I’ll hold you up
There’s no need for you to worry
‘Cause I could never break a promise, no

Stronger than the wind that blows you
Deeper than the night that enfolds you
Greater than the power of temptation
I will cause the sun to break through
Never will I leave or forsake you
I commit myself to your salvation

And you’ll never grow too big for me to carry
This is a father’s love

When you need me I’ll come to you
When you are weary I’ll hold you up
There’s no need for you to worry
‘Cause I could never break a promise, no
No I could never break a promise

And when the fire rises, you will be protected
And if the sky should fall, there is shelter beneath my wings
I have written your name on my heart, you are mine
