The Promise of You

Time and distance may keep us apart

          But the promise of love brings a new start

When fate whispers, our destiny is told

          Instilling faith in our condition, our future unfolds

Pictures of you race through my mind

          It is all I have, all I can find

My thoughts and dreams, they help me get through

          A longing to be together, forever with you

The Lord does work in mysterious ways

          But he often leaves me counting the days

The anticipation is sweet, the desire so strong

          This feels so right, like we belong

I pray that the day will be short, but true

          I’m only surviving on The Promise of You…
