God is a vow, He's a vow all the same Whether in harvest or in a barren place God is a promise in health and decay A promise of nearness, a covenant to stay God is a Father involved in all He's made He isn't stoic, unaffected by our pain He'll never teach us lessons by causing us shame Love's His only method and comfort is His name Better than I ever knew, Better than I ever knew, better than I ever knew Better than I ever knew, Better than I ever knew, better than I ever knew You are better than I ever knew, Better than I ever knew, better than I ever knew Oh, You're better than I ever knew, Better than I ever knew, better than I ever knew
