He promised to hold my hand He promised to help me stand When the valley's too low And the river's too wide He promised he will lead me to the other side His promises light my way Never let my feet to stray Living in his word I will overcome Standing on his promises one by one I may have to walk through the valley of d**h And I may not be sure of my very next step He promised to hold my hand He promised to help me stand When the valley's too low And the river's too wide He promised he will lead me to the other side His promises light my way Never let my feet to stray Living in his word I will overcome Standing on his promises one by one I may have to walk on the water with him But I don't have to worry if I sink or swim
