I wrote the music and sent it to Larry. He wrote the first verse and the chorus. I wrote the second verse and the ending. Rhesa added the instrumental parts to my guitar track and Belen sang the vocals. - Elton, September 13, 2024
(Verse 1)
In the early morning hours before I rise
As the dawn of each new morning fills my eyes
You have set a path before me
And a home prepared in glory
There's a purpose and a promise planned for me
(Chorus)
And Your Spirit leads me forward on the way
As I seek to know You more each passing day
'Till the day I end this journey
And this mortal life is gone
A purpose and a promise leads me on
(Verse 2)
In the coolness of the evening, the day is done
Though the lights go down and shadows block the Sun
I can see the path before me
And a home prepared in glory
There's a purpose and a promise planned for me
(Repeat Chorus)
And Your Spirit leads me forward on the way
As I seek to know You more each passing day
'Till the day I end this journey
And this mortal life is gone
A purpose and a promise leads me on
(Short solo by Rhesa)
(Ending)
There's a purpose and a promise planned for me
I await the won'drous glory we will see
There's a purpose and a promise
A purpose and a promise
A purpose and a promise planned for me
