He Didn'T Lift Us Up To Let Us Down

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

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
He didn't lift us up
To let us down

Never use the word "defeat"
Claim His promises
Every one of them
Every spoken word He'll keep
Because we're everything to Him

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
He didn't lift us up
To let us down
