Sanctus Real - Promises Lyrics






Sometimes it's hard to keep believing in what you can't see
That everything happens for a reason even the worst life brings
If you're reaching for an answer and you don't know what to pray
Just open up the pages, let His Word be your strength

And hold on to the promises (hold tight)
Hold on to the promises (all right)
Jesus is alive, so hold tight
Hold on to the promises

And all things work for the good of those who love God
He holds back nothing that will heal you, not even His own son
His love is everlasting, His faithfulness unending
Oh, if God is for us who can be against us
So, if you feel weak

Just hold on to the promises (hold tight)
Hold on to the promises (all right)
Jesus is alive, so hold tight
Hold on to the promises

Neither life nor death could separate us
From the eternal love of our God who saves us

Neither life nor death could separate us
From the eternal love of our God who saves us

Just hold on to the promises (hold tight)
Hold on to the promises (all right)
Jesus is alive, so hold tight
Hold on to the promises

Just hold on to the promises (hold tight)
Hold on to the promises (all right)
Jesus is alive, so hold tight
Hold on to the promises

Neither life nor death could separate us
From the eternal love of our God who saves us

    For all the promises of God in Him are Yes and in Him Amen to the glory of God through us (2 Cor. 1:20). In 2 Pet. 1:4, Peter also reminds us that God has given us very great and precious promises. Yes and Amen!! Let's hold on to these precious promises and stand on them. They will never break. With so much heartache and pain around us and in our personal lives, Jesus is the only solid rock on which we can stand. All other ground is sinking sand. God is faithful and even when we are not, His word says He is; He cannot deny himself. This morning lift up your eyes to God from whom comes your help and hold on to His promises. He does not fail. He may not come when you want Him but He'll always be on time.

    Thought of this song as I read these scriptures this morning. Glad I found it. It's a wonderful reminder and a great blessing. God bless you Sanctus Real!

    Aww, just teared up Kobie, that's called faith and trust.

    Faith that someone would pray, trust that Jesus IS ALIVE AND HEARING these prayers.

    Hang in there, son, be steadfast and patient, the testing we Christians are going through, is GOD SEPARATING HIS FLOCK FROM THE devil's seeds...
    we are these WHEAT, THEY are the tares who will be bound then BURNED in the lake of fire for 1000 years...
    ... which in heaven or hell will feel like eternity.

    YOU, ME, WE are all going to be alright. 👆💪🙏💗😆

    ugh I deal with feelings when I deal with blasphemy thoughts it so tortures :( I wish it would disappear. Please pray for me. I'm wondering does anyone deal with blasphemy thoughts :(

    R.... a....

    yeah its discouraging ugh :(

    R.... a....

    +Jesus Freak God's got you! He knows your pain, and he promises to never leave you! I'm so sorry you have to deal with that!

    R.... a....

    I know exactly what you are going through I used to go through the same thingI promise you I promise you you are not your thoughts.
    There were several times When I was in a Panic mode and I just busted out in tears! I even thought to myself it's too late for me. :-(Let me tell you something right now As long as you are living and breathing It is never too late for you!
    These thoughts that the devil kept putting in my mind Is not How I Felt or ever will feel ! I accepted Jesus into my heart during this time.I did not deny Jesus.I still had a little bit of anxiety After I got savedBut I know Jesus is for me!And I know he is for you to he is with you always!Yes I will be praying for you I know what you're going throughTrust me you have not done what you are afraid you have done. You stay strong! :-)

    R.... a....

    Blasphemy is the only unforgivable sin but have no fear :) if you were really wrapped up in blasphemy, you wouldn't care about it. Living for Christ is trying and tasking for us all but we must remain steadfast in the Lord! Coming from personal experience, consult these three steps which saved me from losing my faith in Christ.

    1: Refocus your priorities. Be sure to thank God for everything in your life and focus on him and the blessings and amenities that he so graciously gives us. :) This will help you notice him better and feel his presence stronger in your life.

    2: Always consult scripture! This is essential, without the word of God you are unarmed and unable to take the offensive and fight against the enemy. always.consult.scripture.

    3: And lastly, do not lose hope or faith and do not be annoyed :) Christ is with you but you must be with him. Trust in his word and in that his love and grace will suffice for your needs. (which it will) blessed is he that remains steadfastin the Lord.

    I'm praying for you! God bless :)

    R.... a....

    It's blasphemy of THE HOLY SPIRIT ..THIS IS THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN ...ONLY .
    BLASPHEMY IN GENERAL IS FORGIVABLE BY GOD . PERIOD.

  52. S.... ....

    Right now I'm going through a really hard time in my life, my parents are divorcing, my childhood home went for foreclosure and now were still struggling sometimes i doubt that God is even there for me. Because this will now be our fifth Christmas in a row spent with limited food and no financial relief. But God has always been there for me and he is a merciful God he will not leave you, many things come and go but Gods love for you does not. I know in my heart that things will get better and i hope this inspires someone to think that way too. Prepare yourself for God has many blessings in store for you 💗

    S.... ....

    Amen! I'm so sorry you have to deal with all this! Just cling to God, and don't turn from him! He will never leave you nor forsake you!

    Here are some lyrics:

    "And all things work for the good of those who love God" - look at Romans 8:28

    "Oh, if God is for us who can be against us" - look Romans 8:31

    "Neither life nor death could separate us
    From the eternal love of our God who saves us" - look Romans 8:38

    I believe the Lord encouraged me with this song a few days after my mom recently passed away. I woke up one night with the chorus running through my head so I looked it up here. I had heard the song before, but not lately. While the lyrics really spoke to my situation, what was even more amazing to me was the breast cancer connection in the video. I had never seen the video before but it had been breast cancer that took my mother as well. This song and video helped me quite a bit with those first couple of days.

    J King, that sounds self righteous. Jesus wanted us to BE like Him. Should God loving Muslims blame ALL Christians for the atrocities of the wicked among us? Hitler was Catholic, remember that.

When jesus will return, God conscious Muslims and Christians will unite under Jesus to bring back heavenly kingdom on earth !!..

    a.... R....

    Can you explain to me what the Muslim religion believes in?

    a.... R....

    A short summary of  some key points in Islam.
     
    God is one, incomparable to creation, independent of anything, everything depends on him. He is the creator of everything. He is beyond space and time. We are told of 99 attributes of God in Quran. Some of them is that He is the source of knowledge, Love, compassion, justice, power , peace, beauty and He is the most beautiful .. beauty is derived from Him .. He is the source of beauty and everything good.  
     
    He instructs us in Quran to grow towards Him.. we cannot completely reach towards God.. as He is the source of every bounty in an infinite amount ..and we can only achieve a finite amount of it on a specific part of time line. Growing towards God does not mean becoming God .. it is the ability to grow in attributes that we are made with to be able to grow in .. and God is the infinite source of love , compassion and other goodness. No matter how much we grow in these attributes, we can never achieve infinity. Growing towards Him has to be by free choice .. We will grow more beautiful in our actions and in our capacity to understand true beauty .. by letting go of or by limiting our earthly desires and follow the guidance that benefits us the most. Some moral judgement are built in to us by birth(fitrah) .. and others are to be followed by submitting the will to God almighty which are revealed by divine messages.. Some of them is easily understood and some are beyond our comprehension because humanely knowledge is never perfect it is ever evolving .. but this are followed after we rationally judge the messenger of God .. and his message .. if some one finds out and is certain that this message is indeed from the real Creator of everything then they must submit to the will of God and believe that it is for greater good for every on of us .. and the struggle to fight our desires and establish God commandments .. this builds the inner heart(qulb) purer with every honest struggle .. and is given a spiritual guidance through a divine connection between us and God .. which is hindered by every sin and cleared by repentance and good deeds done in hope for his guidance. 
     
    Every one is different .. therefore .. everyone's test and life is different .. this life and choices we will face on earth is perfectly designed to let us know of our problems in our heart that are already known by God that we would show.. and are suppose to correct them when they face it in this life by asking the guidance sincerely from the one true God and acting upon the guidance revealed..  Only by acquiring true sense of his  existence by rational judgments and honest effort .. and by asking true guidance .. which is believed to be given to every human .. if that person wants to be guided .. Every one will be given signs to reach towards the true guidance one by one ..if some one deals honestly with a guidance provided and acts upon  the guidance and faces inner problems of heart to correct them accordingly  one by one as it is revealed to him ..he will slowly but certainly reach the true reality of this creation and test ..  if some one does not want to be guided by the true source of knowledge and beauty and wants not to quench the thirst of knowledge which is given to every human because he wants to pursue earthly desires.. they cannot be guided as guidance has to be asked by free choice .. if some one does not want to from the creator .. then he can choose to be guided from anything he desires .. for example some one might get obsessed by the intellectually that had been given by God as mercy .. such a mathematician or philosopher or scientist who can clearly see the difference between his won intellect to be much superior then his surrounding and chooses to pursue other earthly things other then pursuit of true meaning of life .. and he rejects every information that he gets from the surrounding.. he rejects every religion or avoids involving himself in the study of it .. as this pursuit will hinder his quest to achieve earthy gains.. thus making him submerged in created rather then the creator.. God lets us know that His creations are so wondrous for only to reflect and understand the greatness of God.. These are signs so that they can be guided towards the source of these beautiful things.. Every human are given and shown a blink of this divine knowledge.. as much as that it was made clear to them ... that this is truth .. yet in order to hide from it they seek rational arguments to refute it like trying to close their eyes in hope that it disappears .. after ignoring such clear signs for long .. the heart of such persons gets sealed .. and they actually no longer sees the logic or the rationality in support of it....The other knowledge that will be achieved on this earth that does a lot of wonderful things to mesmerize the one exploring it will end after that person dies..the mercy, the love, compassion and the just being that a person observe in himself .. are limited grant embedded into person when they were born .. or learnt from the society .. which is also given by God..   .. and the soul will be directed towards that that creation as the source of knowledge which that person have given the place of the God .... which will be of no use after a person dies ..As he have ignored the true quest and made something God by attributing one of his 99 attributes.. (for example our own minds are capable of attaining perfectness or the universe itself is the creator of itself or morality or the perfect way of living and social standards that are perfect can be found exploring social studies with in this short life).. therefore that person will be running towards that source of Guidance that he himself was deluded by avoiding guidance in some part of his life ..and made his soul a slave .. or have submitted to something which was only a creation of God rather then the God( The one true source of knowledge,perfection and beauty). All  the goodness from God or knowledge/power of being able to judge right from wrong .. the ability to perceive beauty and peruse it will be lost with death..  and   will  travel infinitely to state of being away from God and thus feel a lot of suffering endlessly as he have chosen a source which is not the source .. rather a creation of the creator whose purpose was to only serve as a tool to be guided to towards God. Atheist or any other religious beings if they choose to give attributes of God to some other creation will not be able to pursue this beauty and knowledge after death. This pursuing of any attributes to be able to grow these qualities.. such as the ability to be compassionate, loving, just, helpful to other creation of God, to be able to do things that gives benefit to humanity in an entirety by submitting to will of God and doing what was revealed to humanity  by God is known as worship in Islam. The one who believes that source is other then the true one God and pursues it in this life has attributed something the attributes of God. These people's soul will be blocked from the lights and knowledge of God if the do not change and die in the state. They will be looking for such things and pursuing those even after they die.. They will not be able to receive these bounties any more .. as the soul will be lost in the darkness of the next phase of human soul life and consciousness ... This term in islam is known as shirk or associating partners to one true God.. The ones who will be asking guidance from the true one God and accepting the 99 attributes revealed by God through prophet muhammed .. and will be acting upon it with out associating any partner .. his soul will be nourished and set in a direction where he can slowly let go of his own evil desires and attain perfectness by running towards the light of God .. only the light of God can save a human soul and give him the pleasure of true beauty and the capacity to understand true beauty .. 
     
    The one who has tuned his soul to the direction to the God with this 99 attributes .. and was guided externally by external knowledge .. or by internal knowledge(every human will also be given knowledge directly to the hearts of pure ones who are innocent by heart) in this life before death .. which was opened by exploring the meaning and purpose of life.. and reaching true guidance .. either by external rational arguments and  believing in it and also practicing divine instructions whose purpose is to nourish and cleanse human souls from hindrance to connect to God ( hindrance = being arrogant or reluctant to accept knowledge by holding on to earthly desires even after it is made clear to them) (ignoring guidance repeatedly after it was cleared to them will cause permanent sealing of hearts, the persons who will never want to accept guidance are the only ones to be sealed and they will find rational arguments of ignorance and will be over convinced with it through the whole life until he dies) .. will be purified ..if the sufferings and tests in this world are not enough to purify the heart completely.. after death .. in the grave .. the soul will be confronted  with higher sufferings(higher negative feedback for guidance) to help the soul to be directed towards the original the source of everything good ... through these sufferings the one who was directed towards the right source will slowly purify his heart in this life and after death until the day of resurrection .. and attain the purer connection to God which will give him blissful feelings and the capacity to understand true beauty ..  after the life in the grave .. which is the life after death and before resurrection .. after resurrection .. there is a long period of time , a span of 80 thousand years .. which will be a reflection of this life .. the ones who have purer heart ..will be able to see some light from God which will guide them towards paradise after the judgement day , (when all actions of every person will be made cleared .. how and what wrongs they have done and will informed of there fate because of the actions they have made on this earth/life/dunya)... where they can be entered only by attaining absolute pure soul . .. or with no barriers between the soul and the God .. this connection will allow him to enjoy knowledge and other good bounties that are offered by the one true God .. every soul will be allowed to enter the paradise except the ones who refuses it by his own arrogance and free choice.. and by the barriers that are only consequences of his own free choices made on earth.. as free choice allows you to choose to or not to submit to God .. and do something which we desire ..Humans by nature .. are limited beings ... and cannot see everything .. every consequences of every decision they can take .. therefore they lack the farsightedness that only God posses who is time independent , poses all knowledge and can measure everything .. therefore human must trust one true God and submit his will to Him .. to attain superior state .. Humans have to potential to become the best. God has made us in a way who can attain the best of the qualities and most bounties which other creation cannot .. suffering, desires and other factors are unavoidable factors to build such a superior being .. for example suffering allows us to give reasons and understanding for being compassionate to other beings ...this also allows us to be endowed with reasons for being thoughtful of our actions .. it also gives us reasons for not doing anything that we want .. and also other things which can be found after reflecting deeply about life.. . The good humans will be definitely be able to attain purity except for the ones who chooses to be arrogant .. and reject the light of God..(Human inner heart is like a glass .. and the God is as the source of light .. Human has power to explore the dark spots in their heart and remove it by their free choice, upon the removal of these dark spots , human beings chooses to share the light that originates from God.. light such as love, compassion and knowledge ..every act of evil causes the heart to be engulfed with more darkness and more black spots which blocks the light of true beauty, knowledge and wisdom )
     
    Rejecting the light of God, by the nature of reality, is lost in darkness and looses goodness .. as all goodness comes from the God himself .. some of which is allowed to all living beings by God's mercy to all creations on earth.. this is true for every human being .. regardless of being religious or non religious humans.. but this is a temporary grant .. The universe is complex .. and the purpose of life is also very complex if not explored thoroughly.. working out through this journey requires constant effort , asking guidance and patience .. every honest struggle will bear fruit .. the ultimate reward surpasses the effort required to acquire it. 
     
    Muslim believes .. Jesus Christ is the son of mother marry.. who was born with out a father .. which jews don't believe in .. he performed many miracles by the will/permission of God Almighty..  He was prophesied by the prophet daniel (alaislam) that he will rule the whole world from jerusalem.. jews believe they have crucified jesus christ .. and by their belief if any one is crucified he is cursed and cannot be a prophet .. so they rejected him .. but it was revealed to us in Quran .. that he was not crucified ... but it was made to appear to the jews that they have crucified him ..
     
    We believe that he was raised to 4th sky .. when he was 33 years old .. and he will return to earth .. at the time of Imam ul mahdi .. the final true leader and caliph of muslims before jesus christ .. Imam mahdi will not be able to fight the anti christ .. jews are still waiting for the true messiah .. they also believe the prophecy of prophet daniel ... but they did not accept jesus christ as they claimed he was a bastard(i seek refuge in God and may Allah forgive me for writing this word) .. and he was crucified so he cant be the prophesied prophet as according to the Jewish believe the crucified ones are cursed by God and as Jesus was crucified they he must be cursed .. but our quran revealed .. that Allah created adam from no mother and father .. so it is very easy for him to give mariam a child with out a father .. he is the only human being who was born with out father .. by the will of God.. but he is not son of God in sense that God has begotten him  ... as God does not do such act as He is most High and incomparable to such human attributes .. He was a son as of a loving relationship between God and him ..
     
    As the jews rejected Jesus christ .. God raised him to the 4th sky as the world is not ready for him .. which will be readied by another prophet who is Prophet Muhammad  saw.. who will create massive revolution and bring a large portion of humanity under the monotheistic belief of One true supreme God .. after some battles of Imam ul mahdi .. the anti christ will reveal himself..  jesus christ will then be lowered from the forth sky ..and he will defeat the anti christ and rule the whole earth from jerusalem .. under his rule the divine law of God will be established on earth .. and after his final battle .. the people of God and righteous people will  the whole earth .. for how long it is not mentioned .. jesus christ will rule probably for 7 years .. after that other righteous ruler will rule the earth .. a lot of the differences in opinion are expected to be cleared by imam mahdi and jesus christ .. christians and muslims will be united under one force of God ..bad jews will be punished but not all for the conspiring against humanity ... because these jews are not true jews as they have knowingly rejected jesus christ and prophet muhammed as they have clear signs for their coming in their scriptures.. they rejected them for earthly gains .. and retained to false modification in their scriptures .. trinity and other concepts were introduced by roman king in the council of naicea.. or from other pollution tamperment of jesus true teaching ..which muslims dont believe.. In islam Jesus christ is a prophet of God and not God. Gabriel is the arc angel and a angel of God. Each of them are different personalities and not one.
     
    We believe jesus was given the injeel .. a holy scripture .. which was modified later to make the holy bible .. jesus christ was given many prophecy and teaching .. which is to be still there in the bible .. like banning of alcohol and eating the flesh of swine is also forbidden in he bible .. which we believe was in the injeel .. so we should not say any thing against any teaching of injeel which does not condradict with quran .. as we dont know if they were really from God or not .. as they might be from God .. jews and christians are to be allowed to follow their scripture under muslim rule .. but they will have different court system .. which Christians can follow ... christians can rule their mass with bible .. so can jews until jesus christ returns .. they should pay tax of .. 2 to 5 percent of their wealth .. inexchange or protection of the muslim army from their enemies .. which is refundable if they cant be protected .. they can apply to sharia or their court to their wish .. if muslims do any transgression against christians injustly .. they are to be punished ..
     
    We don't believe in fiat monetary system .. we don't believe in money which does not have intrinsic value .. we believe in gold and silver or any currency which has value of their own .. we don't believe in lending money with interest .. as it facilitates economic crisis .. what we are obeserving today .. with global economic crisis .. and USA is under huge debt .. which will always increase if they do not switch back to gold and silver or a monetary system which has money with intrinsic value .. God sent prophets to every nation .. to guide them .. and to bring to one true religion .. that people should not worship any one else other then one true God .. every nation was give divine laws for their specific time .. it was changed .. as human's social system evolved .. and new law was revealed ..
     
     Quran is the last and final guidance to humanity .. which is to be implemented until God almighty destroys this creation and rebuilds a new creation before the day of judgement .. every prophet was sent to a particular nation .. we believe jesus christ was sent for the house of israel .. they call themselves jews .. but God in quran calls them children of israel meaning children of servants of God .. as their ancestors were pious and humble submitting servants of God.. every nation was sent a prophets.. there were more prophets sent on earth which are not mentioned by names in the quran .. even multiple prophets were sent at the same time as it was impossible at that time to convey one prophet to another part of the world .. only the last prophet muhammad saw .. was sent with universal divine law .. may be because .. his message .. will be spread upto a time where globalization will make the world a short place and transfer of information will be very easy ...
     
    Quran was memorized by millions of people from the time of our prophet to these day .. every letter is memorized so that it can be retaught to next generation word by word .. these are verified by preceding scholars .. and multiple chains of these scholars or hafeez(the one who memorizes the whole quran letter to letter with proper pronunciation) . So that it cant be corrupted .. this is done upto these days .. islamic laws are derived from the quran and the sayings of the prophet .. separate sayings are also memorized along with the chain of narrators upto prophet muhammad (saw) .. for example .. prophet muhammad (saw).. taught quran and hadith ..  to Anas ibne malik(one of the companion of Muhammad Saw) .. and gave him permission to teach when it was verified by Prophet muhammad saw .. He memorized a lot of hadith and quran .. which he taught to abdullah ibne masud .. abdullah ibne masud then taught to abu hanifa (who is one of the leading scholars of islam).. like this wise ..
     
    This chain was maintained until today .. this chain is known as silsila .. this is maintained strictly by hanafi school of thought of today .. there is another group who are known as the salaf .. who are actually the students of imam hanbal .. but they prefer to call themselves as salaf(meaning the bearer of early islam) .. they did not maintain this chain interms of hadith .. but they do follow the book of sayings of prophet muhammad saw which was kept unchanged by all the muslims of the world .. at early times .. there was some pollution of fabricated sayings .. as immoral ruler of muslims .. who came after Ali (the fourth rightous leader of muslim and one of the greatest and pious companion of the prophet).. after him there were some corrupted leader of muslim .. who wanted to inject false hadiths .. in the muslim mass .. This fabricated hadiths(saying of prophet Muhammad) was filtered out by many great scholars of ours .. like imam bukhari , Imam ahmed .. other scholars .. Who .. inspected the chains .. and the people in the chain of narration (the science of hadith is to vast to be explained in details people study it the whole).. and all the hadith was classed by the science of hadith ..
     
    The hadith which was word to word same from all the corners of the world was classes as most pure .. fabricated sayings were filtered out .. and only authentic sayings were documented with all the information of the narattors and the life story .. and the power of memory of each person .. which are upto to these days .. is studied by muhadiths(scholars of hadith) to verify that they were actully authentic .. if condradictions were found they were re interpreted as weak or strong .. and only strong authentic sayings are used in islamic rulling of belief system(theology) , jurisprudence(how to interact with other humans, court system legal system) and science of heart and personal reflection(how to build up pious character with in)...these scholars had remarkable memorizing skills .. as on of the scholar(Imam Shafi or Imam malik) reported .. that looking to a immoral sight .. or delaying to shift eyes from a view which is lawful by islam .. impacted a lot to his memory .. today scientist have discovered that watching porns destroys gray matter .. there fore these scholars who strictly maintained their lives not to look at anything unlawful gave them remarkable memorizing skills which was used to study science of hadith and keep teachings of islam unpolluted ..
     
    One of the leading scholar of hadith during the early times of islam .. could memorize ..1000s of hadiths .. just listening to it only once .. and he could recall them word to word with out any problem .. he collected immense amount hadith .. and examined all of them and reached to conclusion of only fews thousands of hadith which were surely authentic .. these complex science were absent in previous messages .. as they were not destined to be used for a long time .. so they were allowed to be corrupted as they will be no longer needed when new prophet comes but Islamic teaching and quran is preserved by the will of God .. but some difference in opinion are allowed when interpreting these hadith and quran .. but principle issues are clear if some studies these teaching .. muslims must stay united until imam mahdi and jesus christ appears .. as these confusion of interpreting complex rulling can be cleared only by them .. we believe all the prophet are innocent .. and we should not compare between them .. this was a short brief of most practicing muslims believe.
