“PROMISES” PROJECT
THE PAST IS A PROMISE
V1:
Will there be a next time when I need some mercy
Will grace be sufficient, oh how will I know
The next time my heart is broken will it be mended
Well I have a promise that tells me it’s so
Chorus:
I just go back to the moment He saved me
I just go back to every prayer He’s answered for me
Then I don’t have to worry about my next blessing
The past is a promise I’ll have all that I need
V2:
Did He deliver Moses did he comfort Elijah
Was David a part of this promise to me
Did God’s son rise out of Judah
Did He walk up Golgotha
The past holds the power of His promise to me
Tag:
He’s all I need, He’s all I need
Jesus I all I need
Then I don’t have to worry about my next blessing
The past is a promise, I’ll have all that I need

THE BEST THAT I CAN DO
V1:
I asked the man have you made your plans for heaven
He said I have no guarantee to make it through
I said to save your soul on what are you depending
He said I’m trying to do the best that I can do
V2:
He began to share how he’d been fair to his neighbors
Seemed He always had a helping hand to lend
But nowhere was there mention of a savior
No payment or provision for his sin
V3:
So I said dear sir, may I share for just a minute
how I got my guarantee to make it through
I first confessed that I was just a sinner
Cause that my friend was the best that I could do.
Chorus:
Yes the best that I could do was trust in Jesus
The best that I could do was call him friend
Noble deeds of mine couldn’t satisfy the debt I owe to Him
So the best that I could do was just
Believe that Jesus came and died to satisfy the debt I owe to Him
V4:
Oh my friend, have you done the best that you can do
Would you trust Him now before it is too late
When we’re at our best, we still are less than right and true
The debt we owe is a debt we cannot pay

THE VOICE OF FALLING TEARS
V1:
Lord I don’t even have the words to say
And I honestly would not know where to start
But even when my efforts are in vain
Somehow my tears explain to you my heart
Chorus:
You hear my voice, when I can’t even say a word
When I can’t speak, my silent cry your ears have heard
For I know you’re somewhere watching
And you see each tear that’s falling
And to you the message of each drop is clear
For Lord you hear, I’m glad you hear
The voice of falling tears
V2:
Each teardrop speaks of loved ones gone astray
They tell of broken dreams of yesterday
Tears explain to you the heart of every man
This language only you can understand
Bridge:
When earthly words get in the way
Of this miracle I need
I just bow before your throne
Where once again my teardrops intercede
Repeat chorus

BE NOT AFRAID
V1:
Rocked by waves and howling winds
And the storm that threatened them
The disciples sailed a boat on Galilee
They were tired and full of fright
They had fought the storm all night
Then the master came ‘a walking on the sea
Chorus:
Be not afraid, for it is I, in the 4th watch of the night
You’ve fought and prayed but I am here and it’s alright
The storm will rage, the winds will blow
But they are under my control
It won’t be long till morning breaks
Be not afraid
V2:
Hope seems gone the day is done
And the night is pressing on
Doctors said that they’ve done all that they can do
Around the clock the family prays
But helps already on the way
Without a doubt another doctor’s in the room

HE NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT THE MAN
V1:
Walking towards the temple, in his finest clothes
The time of year had come for sin to be atoned
The law required a payment only blood could satisfy
The lamb he brought would have to give its life
His sins had been so many surely nothing could suffice
Then the priest fixed his eyes upon the sacrifice
Chorus:
He never even looked (looks) at the man
He only examined (examines) the lamb
Carefully, deliberately, (lovingly) judging it’s acceptable
But he never even looked (looks) at the man
V2:
Wanting to come forward, many in the crowd
Focus on the altar they’d like to come but how
Their sins are overwhelming, and works cannot atone
But the Father in His mercy, has made a way back home
The spirit does the calling, Says the finished work is done
It’s only through the sinless blood of Christ alone
Bridge:
God can see our failures, He knows them great & small
So on the cross he placed the lamb
A sacrifice, once and for all
Repeat Chorus

HE IS GUIDING ME
V1:
I am not alone on my journey
I have a sovereign Father who is watching over me
He’s leading every step, I’m walking with His help
As if I were the only one in need
Jesus is guiding me
Chorus:
That’s why every day gets so much brighter
As I walk the path beside
The one who gives abundant life so I can clearly see
Oh, even when the darkness closes
I have found that Jesus knows just
Where I am and where I’m going
He is guiding me
V2:
Through the years I’ve found Him to be faithful
Never have I walked this long and winding road alone
Down unfamiliar paths, no matter where I’m at
On sunny days or when I face the storm
Jesus keeps guiding on

THERE IS
V1:
There was no hope for sinners, in this wicked world below
No lamb upon the altar, could wash us white as snow
There was no human worthy, to lay aside a crown
So from the Holy Heights of heaven, God sent Jesus down
CHORUS:
And now There Is a sacrifice for sin, there Is Amazing Grace
There Is change that comes within, each time a sinner prays
There Is a cross that's blood-stained, but the story does not end
For There Is a tomb thats empty, and its the only one There Is!
V2:
I still don't understand it, I still can't comprehend
The love the cross demanded, as it paid for all my sins
I don't claim to have the answers, to the problems here below
But when it comes to God and sinners, could I tell you what I know?
Rodney Griffin, (c)1999 Songs of Greater Vision / BMI
HE BLED, HE DIED, HE ROSE
V1:
We’ve heard the great commission, to go and spread the word
But sometimes our confession, falls short of what we’ve heard
We need to simplify it, and make the message clear
The good news of the gospel, is all they need to hear
Chorus:
He bled, He died, He rose to live again, three nails, one cross,
Remind us where He’s been,
To reach the lost, you’ve got to preach the cross, til the whole world knows
Tell it everywhere you go, He bled, He died, He rose
V2:
Go tell your friends and neighbors, how you have been redeemed
Tell your brothers and your sisters, the reason why you sing
It’s really just that simple, and worth it if you try
If we’re ever gonna reach them, we’ve got to testify

I’LL LIVE IN GLORY
V1:
I’d like to stay here longer than man’s allotted days
And watch the fleeting changes of life’s uneven ways
But if my Savior calls me to that sweet home on high
I’ll live with Him forever, in glory by and by
Chorus:
Oh yes I’ll live in Glory, by and by, I’ll tell and sing love’s story, there on high
There with my dear Redeemer, no more to die, oh yes, I’ll live in glory, by and by
V2:
The end I know is nearing, by faith I look away
To yonder home supernal, the land of endless day
I’ll cling to Him forever and look beyond the sky
And live with Him forever in glory by and by

THE LIGHT OF THE LAMB
V1:
This world is full of trouble, seems like everywhere we go
We’re living ‘neath the shadows of much sorry here below
But soon we’ll see His splendor like we’ve never known before
Oh, we’re waiting for the day, when dark of night will be no more
Chorus:
The light of the Lamb will shine brighter than the sun
The Great I Am will welcome us, we’ll hear Him say well done
For ten thousand years we’ll sing his praise
As if we’ve just begun
Oh, the light of the Lamb, oh the light of the Lamb
Yes, the light of the Lamb will shine brighter than the sun
V2:
A day will last forever, in that city over there
And what a day as finally we lay down our every care
It’s the end of every shadow, end of every hidden thing
As we stand together in the brilliant glory of our King
Repeat chorus

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
V1:
Lord, when I think of mercy and when I think of grace
When I recall the many joys you’ve given me each day
When I stop and realize, you’ve been my strength time after time
I bough my head in thankfulness, for the blessings you’ve supplied
Chorus:
After all you’ve done for me, what can I do for you
You’ve given everything I need and you’ve always been true
Every time the load gets heavy, you’re there to see me through
After all you’ve done, what can I do for you
V2:
My prayer dear Lord is use me, show me your will and I’ll obey
Wherever your hand leads me, I will follow all the way
When I stop and realize, you’ve been my strength, time after time
I bough my head in thankfulness, for the blessings you’ve supplied
Repeat chorus

I MUST TOUCH JESUS
V1:
She pressed her way through the crowd, though she had grown so weak
She had now spent everything, and hope was gone it seemed
But she kept her eyes focused on the Master just ahead
And I believe the crowd that day, heard these words she said
Chorus:
I must touch Jesus, I must touch His hem somehow
For a miracle awaits me, when at His feet I bow
I will be made whole and every need I have He will supply
I must touch Jesus, while He is passing by
V2:
This trial that you face my friend, seems too much for you
And you feel the world is closing in, with no one to run to
Oh but lift your eyes and you’ll find, Jesus passing by your way
And just like that little woman, reach out to him in faith
Repeat chorus
