Promises
~
I never
promised
you a
castle,
Or
dragons
for you
to slay.
I didn't
promise
you a
princess,
Or
damsels
for you
to carry
away.
I didn't
say that
every
battle
That you
fought
would be
won;
For as
soon as
a
battle's
over,
Another
battle
has
begun!
I cannot
give you
a mighty
kingdom
Over
which
you may
reign;
Or just
a small
cottage
Where
you
could
rule as
king.
But I
promised
that if
you
walked
With
God,
each and
every
day,
And you
held
fast to
His hand
Every
step
along
the way:
That if
you
accepted
Jesus
As your
Savior
and your
Lord;
And
promised
that
you'd
live
each day
According
to His
unchanging
Word:
One day,
you'd
live as
royalty,
His
inheritance
you
would
share.
That
robes of
purest
white
are
yours,
And upon
your
head
you'd
wear,
A crown
of
purest
hammered
gold
With
precious
jewels
beset.
And
rewards
of
greatest
majesty
You will
surely
get.
But the
greatest
blessing
you'll
receive
To your
soul
will
surely
come,
When He
smiles
and
gently
says to
you,
"A job
well
done, my
son!"

Dedicated
to my
son,
Chuck,
because
God
ain't
gonna
make
promises
He won't
keep!
Proverbs
22:6
Train up
a child
in the
way he
should
go: and
when he
is old
he shall
not
depart
from it.
~ I am
whom I
am but
by the
grace,
glory,
love and
unending
mercy of
our
Father
God!
I am
but
Hisconduit!
