Unbroken Promises

Amanda Dieppa, 2003 When everything’s going smoothly And I have a perfect day How easy it is to praise You And so joyfully I pray Slowly I forget You “I can do this on my own” Emptiness creeps in And I start to feel alone Consistently You’re knocking But my heart won’t let You in Because I’m too distracted By stress and selfish sin Too lazy and too stubborn To admit that I am weak Instead I wander in darkness When it’s You I need to seek Carrying my own burdens So heavy, I crash and stumble Sadly, it takes falling on my face To teach me to be humble Life’s road turns rough and rocky And I have a terrible day Am I upset with God For letting trouble come my way? Then I think of His promises For eternity He’s kept them all He said that He’d never leave me But never promised I wouldn’t fall He’ll lead me through the flames Give me strength to face a trial Alone I can’t go an inch With Christ I can go a mile So when everything’s going wrong And I’m facing my darkest days A loving, faithful God sustains me Who deserves ceaseless praise!
