Children of Promise
Andrew Ehrenzeller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a fire by night, in a cloud by day
we were born in signs and wonders.
Our fathers learned to live by faith
so we would never have to wander.

Without a hope, without a home,
without a resting place to call our own.
Cause the promise that You made
is the promise still today.
Glory to God in the highest.
We are Your children of promise.

So, let Your kingdom come,
let Your rivers flow
far beyond what eyes can see.
There is no place that they won't go
so we could live in undiscovered country.

Around the bend, around Your throne,
You are the resting place we call our own.

Cause the promise that You made
is the promise still today.
Glory to God in the highest.
We are Your children of promise.

With faith we see what God sees.
With faith we see what God sees.
Cause faith can see what God sees.
With faith we see…

Cause the promise that You made
is the promise still today.
In Your blood and in Your grace.
Glory to God in the highest.




To God in the highest. To God in the highest.
We are Your children of promise
