The Promise (feat. Steve Zank) - Flame

I never said that I would give you silver or gold Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold But I did say you'd never walk through this world alone (Hmm) And I did say, don't make this world your home I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight But I did say I'd be right there by your side And I did say I'll always help you fight 'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep My grace will be sufficient in every time of need And my love will be the anchor that you can hold onto This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool But I did say like me you'll surely be despised And I did say my ways confound the wise I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side (Yeah, yeah) And I did say I'll dry every tear you cry 'Cause you know I made a promise that I've prepared a place And some day sooner than you think you'll see me face to face And you'll sing with the angels and a countless multitude This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you So just keep on walkin', don't turn to the left or right And in the midst of darkness, let this be your light That hell can't separate us and you're gonna make it through This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you Oh, this is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you

Yea... this your boy Flame I'm going to do something a little bit different for ya'll Call Him (talk to Him man) Call Him (talk to Him man) Come out the box a lil bit I want you to know that you can talk to him man Call Him (talk to Him man) Call Him (talk to Him man) Call Him I know it's hard to let go Swimming in sin All you know is the death stroke The broad road make you run out of petro Reject the Holy Ghost and you're becoming a vessel Of dishonor Rejecting His honor Lost in your sin Can't find you like Osama Yes I'mma address this issue I must kick truth like I'm doing you Jujitsu If you were Christ when Judas kissed you ditched you Snitch to Jewish officials To the point where it whipped and ripped through Your tissue Just to crucifix you Would those be the ones you give ya unconditional love Though they spit on you Lied, but you provide for them to get on through Cause Christ died to rise for something He ain't do Call Him Though this world is fallen He can hear you calling Call Him Though this world is fallen He can hear you c-c-calling Call Him Though this world is fallen He can hear you calling Call Him (You ain't gotta die in ya sin) Call Him (You can know God Come alive again!) Let's take a look at the fall man The one who came down and put His foot on the raw land Gotta question... do you know who you are man? Or do you assume that you can do what the Lord can? I know it's hard fam trying to live life Looking to the left and nobody is living right Looking to the right everybody is living wrong Like we living in a movie and doing it to a song Are your influences throwing you in a zone? Influence you to wrong and doing what you're most prone You know Christ He left His Heavenly home Not just that He left His Heavenly throne Just to bring Ebony home Or whatever your name is He definitely claims His Plus exchanges filth and anguish Guilt and pain and makes us stainless Yea we born in this world in the curse creation... It's fallen That's how we refer to creation... it's fallen Man is the reason for crime The reason for lies The reason for dying It's wrapped all in it Yea it fell and it mean that we fall in it And everything you see on the TV it ain't authentic I'm trying to spit truth Trying to cut the lights on And pull you out the storm of life like the cyclone See life ain't all about fun I love the night life with all of my duns But now in my life like the honor God's son Shine like a bright light until Christ come Used to think about fortune and fame I blinked and day dreamed of me in a Range But He rearrange my definition of what life is While I called on Christ and His likeness

Everybody's got a blank page A story they're writing today A wall that they're climbing You can carry the past on your shoulders Or you can start over Regrets, no matter what you goin' through Jesus, He gave it all to save you He carried the cross on His shoulders So you can start over Don't let your heart be troubled Don't be afraid To the broken hearted that wishes that they'd Never been born, never been torn, never sinned, never disobeyed I know you think there's no hope, but that ain't true (Jesus saves) I know you feelin' regret (Like I) Brought this all on myself (Like I) Messed it up big time, and this time I don't deserve God's help (Thinking) How can God forgive me after knowin' what I did (can He?) After knowin' that I hid from Him, and I stayed away and backslid (Listen) Jesus came for the sick (So true) Jesus came for the weak (Amen) Jesus came to give good news and to set the captives free (Amen) Jesus came for the poor (Amen) Jesus came with the keys (Amen) Jesus came to remove the chains so the prisoners are released Everybody's got a blank page A story they're writing today A wall that they're climbing You can carry the past on your shoulders Or you can start over Regrets, no matter what you goin' through Jesus, He gave it all to save you He carried the cross on His shoulders So you can start over See, His love is deeper than the ocean floor Run to His arms like an open door God the Father sent the Son So men can come and be free and ain't gotta run no more (That's what he said) Come to me, all who are weary; with heavy burdens, I'll give you rest Separated you from the sin, as far as the east is from the west (He said) Thrown in the sea of forgetfulness What sin? What offense? And when them waves come crashing in, I'll calm the winds in your defense (That's what he said) So, whatever it is that you've done He put that punishment on His Son (He said) You'll never come under His condemnation, conquer sin and Satan and his accusations So, dry your eyes, lift up your head Hallelujah God is not dead (Amen) Plus He gave us His peace, and He took our guilt on the cross instead Took our place and now we embrace A clean slate with the eyes of faith We know unfailing love, unfailing love, it's not too late, start over Everybody's got a blank page A story they're writing today A wall that they're climbing You can carry the past on your shoulders Or you can start over Regrets, no matter what you goin' through Jesus, He gave it all to save you He carried the cross on His shoulders So you can start over
