Kept Promises

you said that i was the apple of your eye
and that has proven to be true

you said that i was chosen by you
and that has proven to be true

you said that i am fearfully and wonderfully made
and that has proven to be true

you said that because of your great love
i would never be consumed
and that has proven to be true

you said that you would forgive all of my sins
and that has proven to be true

you said that you would wipe away every tear
and that has proven to be true

you said that i have no reason to fear
and that has proven to be true

you said that you would withhold no good thing from me
and that has proven to be true

you said that when i call out to you
that you would hear me and answer me
and that has proven to be true

you said that you would display your glory over the earth
and that has proven to be true

you said that you would bless those who honor you
and that has proven to be true

you said that you would never leave me nor forsake me
and i believe that to be true

you said that goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life and
i believe that to be true

you said that you were preparing a place for me
and i believe that to be true

you said that you would come back to get me
and i believe that to be true
