John Michael Talbot - Promise of St. Francis Lyrics

Because it was God who inspired you
To become daughters and handmaids
Of the Most High, Jesus Christ
And to espouse yourselves
To the Holy Spirit
By choosing to live
The gospel of Jesus Christ

Chorus:

I promise you always
In the name of all my brothers
I promise you always
I promise personally
I promise you always
To show loving care
I promise you always
In the name of the Lord

And I beseech you, my ladies
And I exhort you
To always live the life of poverty
And watch o'er yourselves
Never abandon this life
through the teaching of any human soul

(Repeat Chorus)
