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
