Your word, your promise

Your word, your promise

by Joel Howard

Your word

Your promise

Your blessed assurance

The striving does end

The fear, the anxiety

All I have needed

Your hand does provide for me

I rest right here in

Your word

Your promise

Your blessed assurance

This word

This promise

This blessed assurance

Outside there is groaning

A man in his shame

Regret

Such sorrow

He cannot forget

For a world in such pain

As the evil do eviler 

Your word

Your promise

Is what gets me through all this

Your word 

Your promise

Your blessed assurance

This word

This promise

This blessed assurance

I thank

I bow

I praise

You now

I bask

In knowing

In seeing you only

This grace

You give

Is glorious 

Evermore

Your word

Your promise

Your blessed assurance

Your word

Your promise

Your blessed assurance!
