You Said

Inspired by Genesis 32:12, this song reflects the struggle of holding onto God’s promises in seasons of fear, waiting, and uncertainty. Like Jacob by the river, it is a reminder that the Lord remains faithful to every word He has spoken. Lyrics by Pingkian Saria [Verse 1] Night by the river, shadows move slow Fear in the distance, dust on the road Hands that were trembling lifted in prayer Heart full of questions, burdened with care But there in the silence one truth remained Older than mountains, stronger than pain I heard the whisper through all of the dark The promise You planted still burns in my heart [Chorus] You said, You would do me good You said, and Your word still stands When all around me shakes like sand I rest my life in nail-scarred hands You said, You would do me good So I will trust though my tears fall Heaven and earth may fade away But You, Lord, keep it all [Verse 2] Many have spoken and broken their vow Many have failed, but not even now You are not distant, changing with time Every word holy, every line mine You never hurry, You never delay Right on the moment You make the way What You have started You carry through Faithful forever, my God, that is You [Chorus] You said, You would do me good You said, and Your word still stands When all around me shakes like sand I rest my life in nail-scarred hands You said You would do me good So I will trust though my tears fall Heaven and earth may fade away But You, Lord keep it all [Bridge] Not one word has fallen Not one hope has died Through the years of waiting You were by my side Not one word forgotten Not one promise lost Sealed in grace eternal Purchased at the cross [Final Chorus] You said, You would do me good You said, and Your word still stands When all around me shakes like sand I rest my life in nail-scarred hands You said, You would do me good So I will trust though my tears fall Heaven and earth may fade away But You, Lord, keep it all [Outro] By the river of sorrow I will still believe You said You would do me good And that is enough for me
