I Promise (song)

Lord, you know my heart
And all my desires
And the secret things I'll never tell.
Lord, you know them well.
Though I may be young,
I see and understand
That at times, like sheep, we go astray
And things get out of hand.

So I promise to be true to you,
To live my life in purity
As unto you, waiting for the day
When I hear you say,
Here is the one I have created
Just for you.

Until then, o lord
I will be content
Knowing that true love will come someday.
It will only come from you.
Cause I have seen the suffering
That loneliness can cause
When we choose to give our love away
Without a righteous cause.

So I promise to be true to you,
To live my life in purity
As unto you, waiting for the day
When I hear you say,
Here is the one I have created
Just for you.
