Promises of Life

Promises of Life

by Randy Doyle Hazlett

You're listening to the song shortened by 1 verse & chorus. Lyrics still in flux. MAPPED GENERAL MIDI with QuickTime v3.0.

1. A lit-tle grain and oil was all she wan-ted.
   Just one more meal and then to wait to di-e.
   But the man of God said, "Do not be dis-hear-tened."
   And her jug and jar no ne-ver did run dry.
   


2. Now three men re-fused to bow before an i-dol.
   Though flames a-wait-ed all who chose to di-e.
   Nine-ty feet of gold could not re-place Jo-hov-ah.
   God de-liv-ered His true ser-vants from the fire.
   

CHORUS

When there seems to be no an-swer,
And life cuts you like a knife,
God is faith-ful to de-liv-er
On the pro-mi-ses of life.
Ye-s, God, He is the an-swer
To all sick-ness, pain, and strife.
God is faith-ful to de-liv-er
On the pro-mi-ses [of life].


3. PROMISES OF LIFE (spoken against background music)
   
   • Matthew 6:33 -- Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.
   • Psalm 32:7 -- You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.
   • Psalm 23:4 -- Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
   • Hebrews 13:5 -- I will never leave you nor forsake you.
   • Matthew 28:20 -- And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
   • Revelation 22:7 -- Behold, I am coming soon!

REPEAT CHORUS


4. When the phone rings in the mid-dle of your night-mare,
   With news that you had prayed would not be true.
   When the Word of God is all you have to stand on,
   Rest assured our sovereign God will rescue you.
   

REPEAT CHORUS

FINALE:
Pro-mi-ses of li-fe
Pro-mi-ses of li-fe
Pro-mi-ses of li-fe
On His pro-mi-ses of... pro-mi-ses of life.
