Believe in the Promise
Little girl growing up all alone,
I want you to know you are not alone
It doesn't matter where you are.
From anywhere in the universe,
You can see the stars.
Your destiny is not determined by race
Or the beauty of your face.
It is not determined by station or place.
Your dreams can never be erased.
Little boy,
What God has for you can never be destroyed.
It's hard not to be discouraged by what you see,
But hold onto your dignity.
It doesn't matter what others think.
You may feel like you're going to sink,
But as long as you believe in yourself,
You will always have something left.
In spite of your mistakes,
Know you have what it takes.
God can fix what is broken in two.
Keep believing in you.
Believe, believe,
Believe, believe,
That God will lift you up high;
Give you wings to fly
Beyond the highest stars.
He will always be right where you are.
Believe that he can remove your doubts and fears,
Dry every falling tear,
He will be your guide,
Always be by your side.
Don't be discouraged.
He will give you courage
To endure.
Your future is secure.
Stand in the knowledge
That he will see you through college.
Don't worry about tuition.
He has promised to bring
all your dreams into fruition.
His everlasting favor and grace
Is not confined by place.
You have got to know
It will follow you where ever you go.
This is his promise to you.
Believe, believe,
Believe, believe,
And it is yours to receive.
What is yours by his design and plan
Cannot be taken by any man.
What God places in your hands
No one can take.
He makes no mistakes.
Believe, believe,
Believe, believe
He will do what he said he would do
He will always keep his promise to you.
