Intro - My Promise Songtext
von Kurt Carr

Just days before he passed away
I sat at the bedside of my brother, Andraé Crouch
His sister, Sandra, left the room
And he squeezed my hand and said
"My brother, make me this promise
I′m going home to be with the Lord
But make sure you lift up that name, Jesus"

And I said, "Brother, I promise (lift Him up) I'll make sure
I′ll make sure (lift Him up) still He speaks from eternity
(Still He speaks from eternity)
Andraé, I promise, I'll keep the great hymns of the church alive
(And) oh yes (I, if I be lifted up) sing, y'all (from the Earth)
(I, I, I′ll) Jesus said, "I′ll draw (draw) draw (all men) all men (unto me, unto me)"
(I'll, I′ll) Jesus said, "I'll draw all men unto me (unto me)"

Oh (oh), how I love (how I love Jesus) Jesus (hallelujah!)
Oh (oh), how I (how I) I love Jesus (I love Jesus)
Oh (sing, Laurel), how I love Jesus (how I love Jesus)
Come on and let the world know! (Let me tell you)


Let me tell you why I love Him (let me tell you)
