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
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
