I know promises thought and spoken
Some are kept and some are broken
Some are sprouts the weeds are choking
Left alone to die
There are those whose hope is taken
There are those whose hearts are breaking
Surely I am not mistaken
I can hear the cry

Bless my soul
I've got something that will never grow old
Bless your heart
You've been looking for a way to start

Desperation's lonely aching
Kills the smile that you've been faking
I can feel your heartstrings breaking
I want to comfort you
Surely life is worth His dying
No more need for needless crying
No more need for deedless trying
Old is changed to new

Bless my soul
I've got something that will never grow old
Bless your heart
I know you're looking for a way to start
Bless my soul
I've got life that I can have and hold
Bless your heart
Take the new and let the old depart
Bless my soul
I've got something that will never grow old
Bless your heart
I know you're looking for a way to start
Bless my soul
Now and then another bud unfolds
Bless your heart
Take a chance and let your pain depart
