I Promise

I Promise Lord, You know my heart And all my desires And the secret things I'll never tell. Lord, You know them well. Though I may be young, I see and understand That at times, like sheep, we go astray And things get out of hand. So I promise to be true to You, To live my life in purity As unto You, waiting for the day When I hear You say: "Here is the one I have created Just for you". Until then, O Lord I will be content Knowing that true love will come someday. It will only come from You. 'Cause I have seen the suffering That loneliness can cause When we choose to give our love away Without a righteous cause. So I promise to be true to You, To live my life in purity As unto You, waiting for the day When I hear You say: "Here is the one I have created Just for you".
