Promise Lyrics - The Promise - Michael Card

The Lord God said when time was full 

He would shine His light in the darkness 

He said a virgin would conceive 

And give birth to the promise 

For a thousand years the dreamers dreamt 

And hoped to see His love 

But the promise showed their wildest dreams 

Had simply not been wild enough 

The promise showed their wildest dreams 

Had simply not been wild enough 

The promise was love and the promise was life 

The promise meant light to the world 

Living proof Jehovah saves 

For the name of the promise was Jesus 

The faithful one saw time was full 

And the ancient pledge was honored 

So God the Son, the incarnate one 

His final Word, His own Son 

Was born in Bethlehem 

But came into our hearts to live 

What more could God have given 

Tell me what more did He have to give 

What more could God have given 

Tell me what more did He have to give 

The promise was love and the promise was life 

The promise meant light to the world 

Living proof Jehovah saves 

For the name of the promise was Jesus 

The promise was love and the promise was life 

The promise meant light to the world 

Living proof Jehovah saves 

For the name of the promise was Jesus 

Living proof Jehovah saves 

For the name of the promise was Jesus
