Story Behind The Song

This song was written out of personal frustration about broken promises made to myself and to God. It speaks of the feeling of being stuck in a rut, and of the determination it takes to get out of that rut.

Song Description

Energetic pop rock with an electronic edge--a song about getting to the end of yourself...and making it through to the other side.

Lyrics

I've been here before
It's time to settle the score
This fight is far too much
My life ebbs away
I'm tired of the ache and the sin
I'm tired of the state that I'm in
And I know the truth that is right within my reach
Oh, Jesus, help me please

No more broken promises
No more of the life that I've lived
No more broken promises
I am reaching out for the hope that you give
I'm tired of these games
How I wish I could rearrange
The life that I've lived
I'd find the hope that you give
No more broken promises
No more of the life that I've lived
No more broken promises
I am reaching out for the hope that you give

Oh, I know the hurt
And I know the grief
The feeling from walking too far away
From the love that you are
I feel your warm embrace
Oh Lord, I look on your face
And the warmth of your presence dries a tear from my eye
Oh such love, I don't know why

REPEAT CHORUS

When the bounds of time will cease
I know these locks he'll release
For the faithful ones, that way
I have chosen to follow today
I will lift my eyes to the sky
For I know someday I will fly
I will meet my Lord in the air
Find the promise that's waiting

No more broken promises
No more of the life that I've lived
No more broken promises
I am reaching out for the hope that you give
It's time for a change
I know there is power to rearrange
This life that I've lived
I've found the hope that you give
No more broken promises
No more of the life that I've lived
No more broken promises
I am reaching out for the hope that you give
