I never said that I would give you silver or gold,

or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold.

(Bb)But I (Eb)did say you'd never walk through this (Bb)world (Cm7)alone,

and I (Eb)did say don't make this world your home.

I (Bb5)never said that fear er taste wouldn't (Eb)find you in the night,

or have or that (Bb5)loneliness was something you'd never have to fight.

(Bb)But I (Eb)did say say be waiting I'd be right there (Bb)by (Cm7)your side,

(Bb)and I (Eb)did say I'll I'll always help you fight.

'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep.

My (Bb)grace will be sufficient (Cm7)in (Bb)ev'ry time of need.

My (Eb)love will be the anchor that a you can hold on to.

This is the promise,

this is the promise I've (F)made to you.
