country ballad...a song of reassurance from the Father to us... Award winner in the 10th Annual Billboard International Songwriting Contest
Lyrics
There’s a promise given long ago
A living Word that we should know
So that we don’t face this journey all alone
It was given from a Father’s heart
To children who’ve been set apart
To walk with Him and know Him as their own
He said “Lo, I’m with you always and I love you so
Until the end of time I want you to know”
That I will be there when you need me
You know you can believe me
I gave my life to prove my love for you
In your joys and in your sorrows
For all of your tomorrows
I’ll be there for you, you know it’s true
I’m the One who came to see you through
There may be those who’ll hurt you
Deceive you or desert you
It seems that hearts get broken everyday
But I’m the One who’ll greet you
Heal you and complete you
And walk with you each step along the way
I didn’t come with you this far to turn around
And I didn’t pick you up to ever let you down
So, I will be there when you need me
You know you can believe me
I gave my life to prove my love for you
In your joys and in your sorrows
For all of your tomorrows
I’ll be there for you, you know it’s true
I’m the One who came to see you through
Through each and every trial; down each and every mile
I’ll walk with you and help you through the night
And if the day seems dreary or when the way grows weary
I’ll give you hope and help you see the Light
(Repeat chorus and last line twice)
