lyrics

Promises

Words and music by Julie Kinscheck c.1996

Intro: Once there was Adam and then there was Eve
They fell from grace when they ate from the tree
No longer promised a paradise
They came to Earth as the first man and wife
Childbirth brought pain with Able and Cain
Working the land and fulfilling God’s plan- then came

Interlude: Abraham, Abraham
Father of nations, Father of nations
Abraham, Abraham
Father of Israel!

CHORUS: Promises- of things still yet to come
Promises- The blessings of the son
Trust in Him- Our times are in His hands
From Genesis till today
God Has the plan!

Interlude: Abraham, Abraham- Father of nations, Father of nations
Abraham, Abraham - Father of Israel!
(Trust in the promises made long ago)

VERSE 1: Promises of Children as many as the stars
With a faith that God called righteous- that moved Almighty’s heart
With his loving partner Sarah- gave birth in her old age
Helps us to remember with God it’s never too late
Had a faith that calls us higher- he sacrificed his son
Through him would come our Jesus- who is the holy one!

CHORUS: Promises- of things still yet to come …

Interlude: Abraham, Abraham- Father of nations, Father of nations
Abraham, Abraham - Father of Israel!
(Trust in the promises made long ago)

VERSE 2: Rebecca left her family trusting in the Lord
She would marry Isaac- though they’d never met before
Jacob was deceitful- till he wrestled with his God
And our Father made him father of all the patriarchs
Joseph clung to hope only promised in a dream
That God would make him great- do you believe in things unseen?

CHORUS: Promises- of things still yet to come …
BRIDGE: Well he promised us a kingdom never overthrown
He promised he would hear us when our prayers fade to a groan
He promised us a savior to save us from our sins
And joy- if we are righteous- Eternity with him (You know I’m talking bout)

CHORUS: Promises- of things still yet to come …
(Trust in the promises made by our Lord!)
