God's Promise Lyrics - Woody Guthrie

I didn't promise you skies painted blue 

Not all colored flowers all your days through 

I didn't promise you, sun with no rain 

Joys without sorrows, peace without pain. 

All that I promise is strength for this day, 

Rest for my worker, and light on your way. 

I give you truth when you need it, my help from above, 

Undying friendship, my unfailing love. 

I never did promise you crowns without trials, 

Food with no hard sweat, your tears without smiles, 

Hot sunny days without cold wintry snows, 

No vict'ry without fightin', no laughs without woes.

All that I promise is strength for this day, 

Rest for my, worker, my light on your way, 

I give you truth when you need it, my help from above, 

Undying friendship, my unfailing love. 

I sure didn't say I'd give you heaven on earth, 

A life with no labor no struggles no deaths, 

No earthquakes no dryspells, no fire flames no droughts, 

No slaving no hungers, no blizzards no blights. 

All that I promise is strength for this day, 

Rest for my worker, my light on your way, 

I give you truth when you need it, my help from above, 

Undying friendship, my unfailing love. 

I promise you power, this minute this hour, 

The power you need when you fall down to bleed, 

I give you my peace, and my strength to pull home 

My love for all races all creeds and all kinds.
