Chorus 1: He didn't bring us this far to leave us He didn't teach us to swim to let us drown He didn't build His home in us to move away He didn't lift us up to let us down There are some promises in a letter Written a long, long time ago They're not getting older, they're getting better Because He still wants us to know Chorus 2: He didn't bring us this far to leave us He didn't teach us to swim to let us drown He didn't build His home in us to move away He didn't lift us up to let us down (to let us down, let us down) He didn't lift us up to let us down I read those promises in His letter And now I claim them for my own Filling my heart and making life better And I just wanted you to know Repeat Chorus 2 Never use the word defeat Claim His promises, every one of them And every spoken word He'll hear Because we're everything to Him Repeat Chorus 2 He didn't lift us up to let us down
