Newsboys - God Of Promises Lyrics
Lyrics
Look up
You say, "Look up at the stars"
It's Your promise to my heart
That You are who You say You are
Hold on
You say, "Hold on to the light"
You won't leave us in the night
You finish what You start
You are faithful to the end
You're my hope and my defense
You're the ever-present
Never-ending
Always faithful
Fully able
God of all Your promises
You'll do just what You said
In my greatest days
And darkest times
You stay the same
You hold me tight
I'm trusting in Your faithfulness
You are my everything
'Cause You're the God of promises
Faithful
From the promise to its birth
From the altar to Your word
That You take care of me
So, I will
I will praise You in the storm
When I'm weak and when I'm worn
In You, I have everything I need
You're the ever-present
Never-ending
Always faithful
Fully able
God of all Your promises
You'll do just what You said
In my greatest days
And darkest times
You stay the same
You hold me tight
I'm trusting in Your faithfulness
You are my everything
'Cause You're the God of promises
One age to the next
You keep covenant
God of Abraham
God of promises
One age to the next
You keep covenant
God of Abraham
God of promises
I will sing and dance
Lifting up my hands
Beginning to the end
God of promises
I will sing and dance
Lifting up my hands
Beginning to the end
You're the ever-present
Never-ending
Always faithful
Fully able
God of all Your promises
You'll do just what You said
You'll do just what You said
In my greatest days
And darkest times
You stay the same
You hold me tight
I'm trusting in Your faithfulness
You are my everything
You are my everything
'Cause You're the God of promises
Oh. I'm trusting in Your faithfulness
You are my everything
'Cause You're the God of promises

Meaning & Inspiration
Newsboys' song "God Of Promises," released on May 30, 2025, immediately establishes its central theme: the absolute reliability of God's word. The song delves into the profound assurance found in knowing that the Creator of the universe keeps every single pledge He has ever made. At its heart, the track serves as an anthem of trust, reminding anyone feeling uncertain or adrift that divine promises are not subject to change or human failure. It’s a musical anchor, firmly planted in the scriptural truth that God is not like man, that He would lie or change His mind, as Numbers 23:19 states, and that His plans are sure. The song captures the enduring nature of covenants established by God, echoing the unwavering faithfulness described throughout the Bible, from the rainbow promise after the flood in Genesis 9 to the promise of a Messiah and the New Covenant detailed in Jeremiah 31 and confirmed through Christ. It highlights that whether in times of abundance or navigating deep valleys, the foundation of God's character remains steadfast, and His promises endure across generations, as affirmed in Psalm 119:89 which declares His word is eternal in the heavens.
Analyzing the song's construction, the music builds around this core message, providing a solid, dependable sonic landscape that mirrors the stability of its lyrical content. There’s a sense of purposeful forward motion, reflecting the way God's redemptive plan unfolds according to His timing and guarantees. The vocal delivery conveys both conviction and comfort, embodying the peace that comes from resting in divine certainty. The instrumentation supports this, creating an atmosphere that feels both grand – acknowledging the majesty of the promise-making God – and intimate – acknowledging His personal commitment to each individual. Scripture reveals this dual nature of God's promises; they are cosmic in scope, affecting all creation and history, yet deeply personal, applying to the life and salvation of those who believe, as seen in promises like "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5) or the assurance of eternal life for those who trust in Jesus (John 3:16). The song seems to draw strength from the fact that God's promises are not based on human merit or worthiness, but solely on His own character and power, a truth beautifully captured in Romans 4:20-21 when speaking of Abraham's faith in the face of impossibility – Abraham was fully convinced that God had power to do what He had promised. This track serves as a reminder that clinging to God's promises through faith, even when circumstances seem contradictory, is the pathway to hope that does not disappoint, as Romans 5:5 reminds us. It is a compelling declaration that the "yes" and "amen" of God's promises, sealed in Christ as 2 Corinthians 1:20 proclaims, offer an unshakable hope in a world filled with uncertainty, encouraging us to live confidently, knowing the Promiser is faithful.
