The struggle’s great, the weight is heavy tonight
But there’s a hope to hold us steady
Through the fight, through the fight
Cause we have something bigger than time
Something deeper than life
More than we can see with two eyes
The sky is dark as we can see it tonight
But You command and the stars defeat it
With Your light, with Your light
We hold the only promise that stays
Won’t come and go like today
You are faithful always, always
You will never leave, You will never leave, no
You will never let, You will never let go
If Your word our hope is then we’ll never lose it
What a promise, what a promise, oh
Nothing we can do, nothing we can say, no
Can ever take away, ever take away Your love
You give strength to the faithful
To rise up on eagles’ wings
What a promise, what a promise, oh
If the God who spoke my heart into existence
Told me not to worry what tomorrow brings
We’ll believe it till we’re standing in eternity
You will never leave, You will never leave, no
You will never let, You will never let go
(You’ll never let me go)
You will never let, You will never let go
If Your word our hope is then we’ll never lose it
What a promise, what a promise, oh
