The Promise Is The Same (feat. Lori McKenna)

They might say I'm a sinner

If I don't sing hallelujah

That I'll be forgotten if every song I sing's not to ya

But I find peace and holy ground in a little farmhouse in a no-name town

Where we say our prayers each night

Maybe I'm a dreamer

I still get high on hoping

I might close my eyes sometimes, but I keep my hands wide open

I question every word I choose, but the answers all come back to You

I'm just tryin' to get it right

If I got asked to preach on Sunday

What would my sermon be?

You're not hard of hearing and You're tired of "I'm sorry"

Forgive me for the countless ways I've tried to climb to grace

I'm singing it all different now

But the promise is the same

After all I'm human

Just skin and bones and pain

Still praying for a melody to play out on these six strings

I wonder if I'm good enough and if I'll ever measure up

But I'm tryin' to get it right

If I got asked to preach on Sunday

What would my sermon be?

You're not hard of hearing and You're tired of "I'm sorry"

Forgive me for the countless ways I've tried to climb to grace

I'm singing it all different now

But the promise is the same

Yeah, the promise is the same

And it's right there in my children's eyes

The truth my wandering tried like hell to hide

If I got asked to preach on Sunday

What would my sermon be?

You're not hard of hearing and You're tired of "I'm sorry"

Will you still forgive me for the countless ways I've tried to climb to grace?

I'm singing it all different now

I pray they understand somehow

That the promise is the same

Yeah, the promise is the same

Yeah, the promise is the same
