A Promessa

"Promise"

I gave till all was given
I spent till all was spent
I longed for a smile, a word of cheer
But none came to soothe, no one to share
I cried and would have run but knew not where

Sweet Jesus come and take my sorrow
Oh help me hold out till tomorrow
Though all alone i walk, no earthly tie
I trust that someday i'll know why

Then Jesus called me to His side
Saying: "Child, do not cry
I laid all aside and calvary was my return
This life is but a moment
Your choice is what's important
A crown awaits the faithful who hold until the end"

Friend, if you are trying
If it's not fair, and no one cares
If life has left you crying, oh let me share
Oh be aware, that

Jesus calls you to His side
Saying: "Child, do not cry
Thought the road is long my love is there for you
This life is but a moment
Your choice is what's important
A crown awaits the faithful who hold until the end"

"My word has never yet returned unto me void
And those that suffer for my sake
Obtain the promise that a crown awaits above
And i await each hand to take
Of every promise, a blessing make"

"This life is but a moment
Your choice is what's important
A crown awaits the faithful who hold until the end."
