Verse 1:
    Am              F
I dream a day that god will surface

You'll say you're mine for the ages
    Am    F
Just open your heart

     F
and say
     G           Am
"I swear on the cross"
            C
Can you promise this

you'll take my name 
         C
can you promise me?

Overseas and over mountains
   Am              F
A thousand years I've waited for her
   Am              F
To say the lines "from this day forward"
     Am    F
Just open your heart

F                 G                Am          C
All this time I've prayed for this day to come true,
       F                 G                Am    C
'Cause no one knows how deep the waves we waded through.
F              G                  Am      C
I wish I could take your hand and make it true.
       F                G             Am              C
'Cause no one knows how far apart we  stayed to get through.

F              G                  Am      C

to the grave

         C
can you promise me?
