The Promise is the Same

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They might say I'm a sinner, if I don't sing "hallelujah" That I'll be forgotten if every song I sing's not to You But I find peace and holy ground in a little farmhouse in a no-name town Where we say our prayers each night [Verse 2] Maybe I'm a dreamer, I still get high on hoping I might close my eyes sometimes, but I keep my hands wide open I question every word I choose, but the answers all come back to You I'm just trying to get it right [Chorus] If I got asked to preach on Sunday, what would my sermon be? That You're not out of hearing and You'rе tired of "I'm sorry" Forgive me for thе countless ways I've tried to climb to grace I'm singing it all different now, but the promise is the same [Verse 3] After all, I'm human, just skin and bones and pain Still praying for a melody, play out on these six strings I wonder if I'm good enough and if I'll ever measure up But I'm trying to get it right [Chorus] If I got asked to preach on Sunday, what would my sermon be? That You're not out of hearing and You're tired of "I'm sorry" Forgive me for the countless ways I've tried to climb to grace I'm singing it all different now, but the promise is the same Yeah, the promise is the same [Bridge] And it's right there in my children's eyes The truth my wandering, tried like hell to hide [Chorus] If I got asked to preach on Sunday, what would my sermon be? That You're not out of hearing and You're tired of "I'm sorry" So forgive me for the countless ways I've tried to climb to grace I'm singing it all different now I pray they understand somehow That the promise is the same Yeah, the promise is the same Yeah, the promise is the same
