The hand of fear gripped that crowd that day at Jerry's home
When the doctor shook his head and said she's gone
You can feel that mamma's heartbreak
You could hear them cry at night
That little girl was only twelve years old
Then somewhere in the distance, out lying against the sun
There came a Man with a mission from the throne
They said somebody's coming but what they didn't know
It was a Promise coming down that dusty road
A Promise coming down that dusty road
From His holy hands healing virtue flows
He's got the key to what you need, death and hell He will defeat
there's a Promise coming down that dusty road
Wonder turned to mocking as Jesus did speak
He said your daughter's not dead she's only asleep
Then He turned to the unbelievers and He said them all go home
That's when I heard Him say leave me and death alone
Then He laid his hands upon the child
He looked death right in his eye
He said all power in heaven in earth belong Me
And when the voices sounded like thunder
And He hurled death asunder
And then He said little girl rise and be healed
He's got the key to what you need, death and hell He will defeat
there's a Promise coming down that dusty road
