Just Promise

(2010)

Promise me you’ll never leave,
Even from miles away.
Promise me you’ll talk to me,
And help me make it through the day.
Promise me you’ll be there,
At my worst and best.
Promise me you’ll stand by me,
When life puts me to the test.
Promise me that when I push you,
You’ll just move closer in.
Promise me you’ll stay close to God,
And lead me far from sin.
Promise me that when I say I hate you,
You won’t believe a word.
Instead you’ll speak words of love,
Forgetting what you heard.
Promise me that when I hate myself,
You’ll remind me that I’m loved.
And when all is said and done,
I’ll remember you as my gift from above.
