Chord/Tab song: I Could Never Promise You

Words and Music by Don Francisco, 1977 (Capo 1st Fret if desired)

[D]I could never promise you on j[A]ust my strength alone
That[G] all my life I'd care for you, and l[D]ove you as my o[A]wn
I've n[D]ever known the future,[A] I only see today
C m7 A D G A
Words that last a lifetime would be more than I could say

But the l[D]ove inside my heart today(tonight) is m[A]ore than mine alone
It [G]never changes, it never fails,[D] never seeks it's o[A]wn
And[D] by the God who gives it, and who l[A]ives in me and you
[C]I know the words I [Em7]speak today(tonight) are w[A]ords I'm going to [D]do

(Chorus)

And[Bm] so I stand before[Em] you now for al[G]l to hear and s[A]ee
[G]I promise you in J[Em]esus' name the l[A]ove He's given m[D]e
And t[Bm]hrough the years on e[Em]arth and as e[G]ternity goes [A]by
The l[G]ife and love He's given [Em]us are never going to di[A]e

(Interlude)

(Chorus)

And[Bm] so I stand before[Em] you now for a[G]ll to hear and s[A]ee
[G]I promise you in Je[Em]sus' name the l[A]ove He's given m[D]e
And thro[Bm]ugh the years on ea[Em]rth and as e[G]ternity goes [A]by
The li[G]fe and love He's given [Em]us are never going to d[A]ie
The li[G]fe and love He's given [Em]us a[A]re never going to d[D]ie
