Steadfast Ascent - Promise, Pt. I Lyrics

I refuse to despair of your justice and mercy
For in this great darkness you're seated beyond me
Tonight's cup goes down so bitterly
But I trust the joy you've promised me

I won't give up! I won't give in!
I won't be afraid! I won't turn away!
I'll run to your heart and press in to all that you are

You are here, in this very moment
Holding me close, catching my exhales
You were there, in my world collapsing
Holding me close, secure in your promise

So I rejoice in the light of your kindness and graciousness
Before lines were drawn you already had overcome
So I will fight for the truth of your unfailing love
The gifts bought for us by the death of your son

I'm hanging onto your promises
I'm holding fast to what Your word says
