Promise Keeper

Fred Hammond · The Spirit of David [1996]

Seasons come and then they go

But all You've established shall hold fast

And on that weep can rest assured

And beyond imagination

Every promise You have given me will come true



(Chorus)

I see You, so sovereign

You are the only God so wise

In Your hands You hold my tides

I can hold You to Your word

You're never wavering

You won't turn, for I am sure

You are the Promise Keeper



Exceeding all my expectations

I find myself believing You with no hesitation

'Cause You've proven to me You're awesome

I can clearly see my life is Yours, Al Shaddai



(Chorus B)

I see You, so sovereign

You are the only God so wise

In Your hands You hold my tides

I can hold You to Your word

You're never wavering

You won't turn, for I am sure (for I know)

You are the Promise Keeper



(Bridge)

Heaven and earth will pass away

Before one word You speak will ever fade

Promise Keeper, Promise Keeper, Promise Keeper



I can hold You to Your word

You're never wavering, You won't turn

For I am sure (For I know)

You are the Promise Keeper
