11th Birthday Preparations: Part 2

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

Promise of a Lifetime by Kutless I have fallen to my knees As I sing a lullaby of pain I’m feeling broken in my melody As I sing to help the tears go away Then I remember the pledge You made to me I know You’re always there To hear my every prayer inside I’m clinging to The promise of a lifetime I hear the words You say To never walk away from me and leave behind The promise of a lifetime Will You help me fall apart Pick me up, take me in Your arms Find my way back…
