The Promise - Michael Card

The Lord God said when time was full

He would shine His light in the darkness

He said a virgin would conceive

And give birth to the promise

For a thousand years the dreamers dreamt

And hoped to see His love

But the promise showed their wildest dreams

Had simply not been wild enough

The promise showed their wildest dreams

Had simply not been wild enough

The promise was love and the promise was life

The promise meant light to the world

Living proof Jehovah saves

For the name of the promise was Jesus

The faithful one saw time was full

And the ancient pledge was honored

So God the Son, the incarnate one

His final Word, His own Son

Was born in Bethlehem

But came into our hearts to live

What more could God have given

Tell me what more did He have to give

What more could God have given

Tell me what more did He have to give

The promise was love and the promise was life

The promise meant light to the world

Living proof Jehovah saves

For the name of the promise was Jesus

The promise was love and the promise was life

The promise meant light to the world

Living proof Jehovah saves

For the name of the promise was Jesus

Living proof Jehovah saves

For the name of the promise was Jesus
