THE PROMISES OF MAN
MAY FAIL BUT
GOD'S PROMISES PREVAIL

IN THIS UNCERTAIN WORLD OF TROUBLE
WITH ITS SORROW, SIN AND STRIFE
MAN NEEDS A HAVEN FOR HIS HEART
TO ENDURE THE "STORMS OF LIFE"...
HE KEEPS HOPING FOR A PROMISE
OF BETTER, BIGGER THINGS
WITH THE POWER AND THE PRESTIGE
THAT FAME AND FORTUNE BRINGS...
AND THE WORLD IS RIFE WITH PROMISES
THAT ARE FAST AND FALSELY SPOKEN
FOR MAN IN HIS DECEPTIVE WAY
KNOWS HIS PROMISE CAN BE BROKEN...
BUT WHEN GOD MAKES A PROMISE
IT REMAINS FOREVER TRUE
FOR EVERYTHING GOD PROMISES
HE UNALTERABLY WILL DO...
SO READ THE PROMISES OF GOD
THAT WILL NEVER FAIL OR FALTER
AND INHERIT EVERLASTING LIFE
WHICH EVEN DEATH CAN'T ALTER...
AND WHEN YOU'RE DISILLUSIONED
AND EVERY HOPE IS BLIGHTED
RECALL THE PROMISES OF GOD
AND YOUR FAITH WILL BE RELIGHTED,
KNOWING THERE'S ONE LASTING PROMISE
ON WHICH MAN CAN DEPEND,
AND THAT'S THE PROMISE OF SALVATION
AND A LIFE THAT HAS NO END.

THE ONE THING I WANT FROM GOD,
THE THING I SEEK MOST OF ALL, IS THE
PRIVILEGE OF MEDITATING IN HIS TEMPLE,
LIVING IN HIS PRESENCE EVERY DAY OF
MY LIFE, DELIGHTING IN HIS INCOMPARABLE
PERFECTIONS AND GLORY.
