The Promise
by Allison Durham Speer

Album: Seasons

Verse
A hand of fear gripped the crowd that day at Jiarius' home
When the doctor shook his head and said "She's gone"
You could feel that mother's heartbreak
You could hear them cry and mourn
Their little girl was only twelve years old.

Somewhere in the distance outlined against the sun
There came a man with a mission from the throne
They said "look somebody's comin'"
But what they did not know it was their promise comin' down that dusty road.

Chorus
There's a promise comin' down that dusty road
From his holy hands healin' virtue flows
He's got the keys to what you need
Death and hell He will defeat
There's a promise comin' down that dusty road

Verse
The wonder turned to mockin' when Jesus did speak
He said "Your daughter's not dead she's just asleep"
Then he turned to the unbelievers and he told them all "go home"
They heard him say "leave me and death alone"

Then he laid his hand upon the child he looked death right in the eye
He said "all power in heaven and earth belong to me"
And with a voice that sounds like thunder he hurled death asunder
And then he said "little girl rise and be healed"

Chorus
There's a promise comin' down your dusty road
And from his holy hands healin' virtue flows
He's got the key to what you need
Death and hell he will defeat
There's a promise comin' down that dusty road

There's a promise comin' down your dusty road
And from his holy hands healin' virtue flows
He's got the key to what you need
Death and hell he will defeat
There's a promise comin' down that dusty road

He's got the key to what you need
Death and hell he will defeat
There's a promise comin' down that dusty road
There's a promise comin' down your dusty road
