If we share this road for a portion of our way There's something I should tell you in the light of day Before this goes too far, before I fall too deep You need to understand about the promises I keep
Because there's strength I want and there's peace I need In the words I say, in the things I read From the clothes I wear to the place I choose to sleep Everything goes back to these promises I keep
It's not that I don't care for you and want to hold you near When the hour gets late and I say I have to go Closer to the truth is that I'm honoring the One Who loves us both more than we know
So you may think I'm wise, or you may think I'm strange But my mind's made up and my heart won't change And when the world falls down you can trust in me Because I trust Him, and there are promises I keep
