His Promise

He made the promise, the final words
at the end of his time on earth
to be with us, with us, always,
Never alone are we, always with the Lord
a promise to believe in, to trust
This God who came to earth,
who suffered and died;
he rose, but more, he is risen
now and always, a risen Lord
living now at the right hand
With us in all our days,
in all the days to come
Whether good days or bad
Always with us, each step,
each instant of time
walking with our savior
His promise, hope for the believers
love for us all
