Verse 1:

You woke up one day in a bad way

Dsus4 D

With a dark heart, in a small cave

And decided to hide

For the long, bitter night

But one day, Someone loved you

Dsus4 D

Let the Light in, made the old new

From some water and mud

Wrote your new name in blood

G Dsus4

Now something about it

D Em

Just doesn’t seem real

Sometimes that’s how it feels

Chorus:

You are still a promise

Dsus4

The heartbeat of God

D Em

You may have forgotten

But He has not

You are not your ashes

Dsus4

You are a flame

D Em

Do not ask the shadows

The Light of the world knows

Knows your name

Verse 2:

There was one day, you were certain

Dsus4 D

That He called you, ‘cause you heard Him

And the clouds disappeared

Everything crystal clear

But then one day it was not so

Dsus4 D

Other voices you did not know

From the fray and the fringe

They were all weighing in

G Dsus4

Now you can’t remember

D Em

Who has your heart

Well here’s a start

Chorus 2:

You are still a promise

Dsus4

The heartbeat of God

D Em

You may have forgotten

But He has not

You are not your ashes

Dsus4

You are a flame

D Em

Do not ask the shadows

The Light of the world knows

Bridge:

You’re a friend of God, daughter, son

Blameless and forgiven one

You’re a slave no more, finally free

Saints and heirs now redeemed

Your beautiful and broken heart

Is safe and sound in His arms

You are chosen, you are His

So remember this

Chorus 3:

G Dsus4

You are still a promise

Em C

You may have forgotten

You are not your ashes

Dsus4

You are a flame

D Em

Do not ask the shadows

The Light of the world knows

G Dsus4

Knows your name

D Em C

He knows your name

You are not your ashes

Dsus4

You are a flame

Do not ask the shadows

The Light of the world knows

Knows your name
