Promises
The Ineloquent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standing on your promises
No matter what lies ahead
You are with me in the fight
And I will end this day
Resting in your promises
You say "Yes"
And I will sleep in peace tonight
You are faithful
You've always been
Even when the tunnel is long
And I can't see the light at the end
You are faultless
You never fail
Everything you say, you do
There is no shadow in you
So by faith, not sight, I decide
I will begin this day
Standing on your promises
No matter what lies ahead
You are with me in the fight
And I will end this day
Resting in your promises
You say "Yes"
I say "Amen"
And I will sleep in peace tonight
You are so good
My solid ground
A powerful bastion in
The trouble that surrounds
You are constant
You never change
All the seasons come and go
But steadfast you remain
So by faith, not sight, I decide
I will begin this day
Standing on your promises
No matter what lies ahead
You are with me in the fight
And I will end this day
Resting in your promises
You say "Yes"
I say "Amen"
And I will sleep in peace tonight
Faithful
God, you're faithful
You are who you say you are
You'll do what you say you'll do
Faithful
God, you're faithful
You are who you say you are
You'll do what you say you'll do
So by faith, not sight, I decide
I will begin this day
Standing on your promises
No matter what lies ahead
You are with me in the fight
And I will end this day
Resting in your promises
You say "Yes"
I say "Amen"
And I will sleep in peace tonight
I will begin this day
Standing on your promises
No matter what lies ahead
You are with me in the fight
And I will end this day
Resting in your promises
You say "Yes"
I say "Amen"
And I will sleep in peace tonight
The lyrics to The Ineloquent's song "Promises" express a strong sense of trust and faith in God's promises. The song begins and ends with the same lines - "I will begin this day standing on your promises, and I will end this day resting in your promises." The repetition emphasizes the idea of relying on God's promises, no matter what obstacles may come throughout the day. The lines "You say 'Yes', I say 'Amen'" expresses the idea of complete agreement and surrender to God's plan.
The song also acknowledges God's faithfulness throughout every situation. The lines "You are faithful, you've always been" and "You are constant, you never change" express the idea that even in the midst of trials and uncertainty, God is a solid foundation and a steadfast presence. The final repetition of the word "Faithful" emphasizes this idea, and reaffirms the trust and reliance on God's promises.
As a whole, "Promises" speaks to the idea that faith in God's promises is a choice - a decision to trust even when doubt may creep in. The song encourages the listener to begin and end each day with a focus on God's promises, as a way to find peace and trust throughout life's challenges.
