The Promise

The Cockman Family The Promise Lyrics
1.Nothing But the Blood

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Now by this I'll overcome
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Now by this I'll reach my home
Nothing but the blood of Jesus


2.Lilly of the Valley

I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and fully make me whole
In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay
He tells me every care on Him to roll
He's the Lily of the Valley, He's the Bright and Morning Star
He is the fairest of ten thousand to my soul

He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here
While I live by faith and do His blessed will
A wall of fire about me, I have nothing now to fear
From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill
Then sweeping up to glory I'll see His blessed face
Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll
He's the Lily of the Valley, He's the Bright and Morning Star
He is the fairest of ten thousand to my soul


3.Thank You for Your Blessings

Lord I just want to thank you for your blessings
You have been so very good to me
Lord I just want to thank you for your blessings
Don't ever let them slip my memory

Lord, I know sometimes I seem ungrateful
For all the things that you have done for me
I just want to stop right now and thank you, Lord
For the blessings that I can and cannot see

The crying eyes of a tiny baby
A home that's filled with love
I just want to stop right now and thank you, Lord
I could never thank you enough

I look outside; a brand new day is dawning
Once again you've let me breath and wake
I just want to stop right now and thank you, Lord
For giving me the joy of one more day


4.Old Time Religion

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me

It was good for Paul and Silas
It was good for Paul and Silas
It was good for Paul and Silas
And it's good enough for me

It will make you love your brother
It will make you love your brother
It will make you love your brother
And it's good enough for me

It was tried in the fiery furnace
It was tried in the fiery furnace
It was tried in the fiery furnace
And it's good enough for me

It's the old-time Holy Spirit
And the devil won't go near it
That's the reason people fear it
But it's good enough for me


5.He Giveth More Grace

He giveth more grace, He giveth more grace
Down through the years, though there were tears
He was building your faith
He giveth more grace, He giveth more grace
Mercy abounds when he reaches down
He giveth more grace

You feel like you're standing on sinking sand
With the weight of the world on your shoulders
You can remember the sun shining down
But that was when you were younger
You've been in the valley so long
The joy you once had is gone
Oh but I know a man who will give you
Back victory's song

Satan was roaming the earth to and fro
Seeking until he found you
You are a modern-day Job I believe
But Lord knows you're trying to stay true
Your friends wonder what you did wrong
To be on this ash heap so long
But the great God of mercy will give you
The strength to go on


6.My Rock


7.My Name Is In the Book


8.One More Day

My troubled soul, crying in the darkness
Longing for a touch of love to turn my night to day
A stronger hold, someone to help me stand
I know that out there somewhere there is a better way

There is a place, a land that knows no darkness
Where sorrows never get you down and teardrops never fall
No pain to grip the body, no sin to grieve the soul
My redeemer reigns there giving joy and peace to all

Jesus. Jesus
I've failed You more than once today
Now on bended knees I pray
Again I let this world pull me away
Jesus. Sweet Jesus
I pray to You for mercies sake
And for Your redeeming grace
Help me somehow find the strength to try and make it
One more day.

There was a man tempted just like me
Despised and rejected and acquainted with grief
He carried all my burdens up the hill to Calvary
An offering for sin; He died to set my spirit free

11.Near the Cross


12.Looking for a Place to Cross

A tired old man with a Bible in his hand
Said, Lay me down upon the cool green moss
My eyes can see that river flowing through the Promised Land.
I'm just looking for a shallow place to cross

I'm just testing out the water; I'm just waiting for the tide
I can see my friends a waving to me from the other side
I can't understand why you're so sad; I just can't see the loss
I'm walking up and down the banks of that Jordan River
Looking for a place to cross!

The old man took his rest with his Bible on his chest
He shivered as he clutched me by the hand
I just stepped into the water, and it chills me to the bone
But the sun is shining on the Promised Land!

Now, when I die, when I bid this world goodbye,
And they come to lower this old body down,
Now don't you weep, son, don't you cry for me


13.Softly and Tenderly

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See, on the portals he's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home

Why should we tarry when Jesus is calling?
Calling for you and for me
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies
Mercies for you and for me

O for the wonderful love he has promised
Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me
