Lyrics
I Will Be Back
A poor little girl in Haiti
No more than six years old
Was waiting in line all day
To get a brand new Barbie Doll
But when it came to be her turn
There were no more dolls left for her
Although she was sad she said ?Thanks anyway
Maybe I?ll get mine next year
The lady looked down at the poor little angel?s face
And said, ?This is the promise to you I will make.?
I will be back just wait and see
You can trust in me
And remember to pray each and every day
?cause faith is what you need
And before the year is through
I will be back for you
While sitting in church on Sunday
After months of wondering when
She heard the preacher say
Jesus is coming back again
The little girls faith grew stronger
After hearing God?s mighty word
The very next day she heard the news,
That the doll lady would return
As tears of joy streamed down the angel?s face
She remembered the promise the sweet lady made
I will be back just wait and see
You can trust in me
And remember to pray each and every day
?cause faith is what you need
And before the year is through
I will be back for you
