He walked away and didn't smile   The man will leave, the boy will cry   To stand out in his freedom   But his freedom hasn't freed him   And they spoke in faith they prayed their vows   But her broken face is longing now      What about the promise that we made   And the vows we freely made before God   Wonder what he's thinking of?   The promise, the promise   That we made      The longing heart, the searching soul   Will search and never find a home   'Til Jesus comes and takes control   And He takes the promises that you left behind   And He resurrects the dead to life   But you can run but you can't hide from your life      (chorus)      Well I know that your heart is aching now   But just let it go and let God turn it   Turn it all around, yeah   Oh, the promise   Oh, the promise   Oh, the promise   That we made
