If we share this road for a portion of our way

There's something I should tell you in the light of day

Before this goes too far, before I fall too deep

You need to understand about the promises I keep



Because there's strength I want and there's peace I need

In the words I say, in the things I read

From the clothes I wear to the place I choose to sleep

Everything goes back to these promises I keep



It's not that I don't care for you and want to hold you 

near

When the hour gets late and I say I have to go

Closer to the truth is that I'm honoring the One

Who loves us both more than we know



So you may think I'm wise, or you may think I'm strange

But my mind's made up and my heart won't change

And when the world falls down you can trust in me

Because I trust Him, and there are promises I keep



I trust in Him, and there are promises I keep
