[Verse]
AbA hand of fear gripped the crowd, that dDbay at Jairus' hAbome
When the doctor shook his hEbead and said she's gAbone
AbYou could feel that mother's heart break
You could hDbear them cry and mAbourn
Their little girl was oEbnly twelve years oAbld
AbSomewhere in the distance
DbOutlined against the Absun
There came a Man on a misEbsion from the thAbrone
AbThey said "look somebody's coming"
But wDbhat they did not kAbnow
It was their Promise coming dEbown that dusty rAboad
[Chorus]
AbThere's a Promise coming down that dusty road
From His holy hand healing virtue fEblows
He's got the kAbeys to what you need
Death and hDbell He will defeAbat
There's a Promise coming dEbown that dusty rAboad
[Verse]
AmThe wonder turned to mocking
When JeDsus did spAmeak
'Cause He said your daughter's not dEead She's just asAmleep
Then He tuAmrned to the unbelievers
And He tDold them all "go hAmome"
They heard HAmim say "Leave Me aEnd death alonAme."
AmAnd then He laid His hand upon the child
And He loDoked death right in the Aeye
He said, "AAll power in Heaven
and earth it bEelongs to me"
And with a vAoice that sounds like thunder
He huDrled death asuAnder 
He said "my child rEise and be heaDled"
[Chorus]
AbThere's a Promise coming down that dusty road
From His holy hand healing virtue fEblows
He's got the kAbeys to what you need
Death and hDbell He will defeAbat
There's a Promise coming dEbown that dusty rAboad
