You Keep Your Promises - JJ Heller

Sandals in the closet

Jackets by the door

Orange, red, life and death

Scattered 'round the feet of the sycamore

The waiting hands of winter

Catch us when we fall

Is it just me?

I can’t believe

The green of spring was ever here at all

You keep Your promises

You keep Your promises

I might not see it yet

You keep Your promises

Everyone I care for

Just like every perfect dream

Withers, fades, and drifts away

Feels like we’re all falling with the leaves

You keep Your promises

You keep Your promises

I might not see it yet

You keep Your promises

There is hope within the breaking of the heart of every seed

And I know You feel the aching at the end of all good things

I believe in restoration, I believe that You redeem

Because I know somehow the sycamore will bloom again in spring

You keep Your promises

You keep Your promises

I might not see it yet

There will be life again

You keep Your promises

You keep Your promises

I might not see it yet

You keep Your promises
