Story Behind The Song
The Lord laid this song on my heart about the time I left an alcohol treatment facility. Through the dark times Jesus was there and carrying me even when I couldn't hold it together myself. God is Good

Lyrics
The Promise by Micheal Lee Collins

Did ya feel me carrying you?
You were tired and bruised.
I held you through the storm
Yeah, ya felt so good in my arms.
There was nothing I could do to make you stay,
But ya did it anyway.
Yeah we had some pretty close calls,
When your back was right against the wall.
But you fought your way back to the light
Yeah your faith was strong enough for one more fight.
I'm holding you, you hold on too
Yes we'll make it through cause I love you.
Do you remember when I use to catch your tears?
And through the darkest nights I'd calm your fears.
And through the storm I'd be the silver-line
And let ya know it'd be just fine.
Yeah we better Hold on!
