I write my own songs ;) I have a very diverse taste in music, from Pop to Classical, including Rock, Folk, Jazz, Country, World Music (Celtic, Romanian), Old Timey Stringband/Bluegrass, and Latin. All these styles are in my Christian Contemporary catagory. I usually write the music first, and then put words to the music. Though I don't sing good enough yet, I though I would put my instrumentals out along with my music. Generally, I think my music/lyrics are getting better, being more skilled now than when I started.

Story behind the song
This is the fraternal twin of "Thank You". I developed this song quite a bit more than it's 'twin'. But the seed musical idea goes back to just before Jan. 1976. 'Promises', like 'Thank You", came from what I heard in the first notes of the melody. I studied several books on God's promises such as "A Field Guide To Bible Promises" by Helen Haidle, "Hope For All Seasons" by Daniel J. Simundson, and many websites including rbc ministries - "How Does God Keep His Promises?" at: http://www.rbc.org/bible-study/discovery-series/bookletDetail.aspx?id=48076
Lyrics
Promises Promises mean God will keep His word So believers, then, will be assured Look in hist'ry, hold on to the past See the hope of promises that last God gives wisdom, courage and not fear Rest and peace of mind, yes, God is near Strength to hold on when misunderstood God provides when things don't look too good Chorus: Promises, from God, come true in time Yes, there's 'if's and 'but's. Should I claim them all as mine? I seek the Kingdom and the prize I'll focus all my life on Christ (glor'ous Jesus) He's a big, loud 'Yes!', our 'Amen' God accepts us, comforts and will guide All the thirsty drink up and abide God forgives us, cleanses us from sin Takes our old life, makes it new again Christ will come in if someone receives God will answer prayer if one believes God is good, and He won't hold it back All things work together in His plan (chorus) God's preparing mansions, heaven's home Interceding, Christ is on His throne He rewards us, honors us for faith Good things come to those who watch and wait David Davis copyright 2008 http://postadavisongs.50webs.com/Promises.html
