Promise To Live lyrics
(Psalm 16:11, Isaiah 41:13, Philippians 1:6)

This is where the pain begins
In your violence
A challenge rises
Can you feel this?

One match
One scratch upon the skin
The wound is breaking
The voice is changing
Can you conceal it?

Situation critical
Now you’re searching for a chemical
This is not what you wanted to become

It’s pushing you to the edge
(You’re not where you’ve been)
Now you’re hiding in your old regret
(You’re not what you did)
I need you to know your story’s not done
You gotta believe me

You can’t imagine
Why all this happened
Don’t close your eyes
I vow to hold you
Until you break through
Just swear you’ll stay alive

All your death will be resurrected again
With your hand on my heart
Make me a promise to live

This is where redemption lives
In your surrender, you gotta remember
What the truth is

Situation critical
(You’re not where you’ve been)
Now you’re staring down a miracle
(You’re not what you did)
Step out cause I’m waiting on the waves
You gotta believe me

This is not your downfall
It’s not your curtain call
This is only the start

And I can’t wait to watch you
Let this break and build you
I’m so in love with who you are

When this song first dropped, I listened to it a lot. From June of 2021 to March of 2023, I was taking care of my mother as her primary caregiver. She was declining rapidly, and I was told by hospice that she didn't have much longer. I was out of work on FMLA, and doing my best to hold it all together. My mom passed away on March 6th, 2023. This song really ministered to me during those difficult days. I still go back to it often. Thank you Disciple.

The Evil One is speaking to me constantly and I don't want to hear him I don't want to know him and I don't want him in my life I yearn for Heaven I yearn for Jesus in Heaven I yearn for all my loved ones there and I yearn for the saved to be together in eternity I have been heavily attacked by the enemy and I am crying now feeling Holy Spirit fire minutes between saying that and typing this about the Holy Spirit and now... I feel as if my promise to live is an everyday choice of getting up and doing whatever of the basics I can manage I am in a deep state of depression and pain right now and God is my rock even in ever-present times of trouble. I shake now and know I must say all these lyrics hit me hard please please keep writing songs like this.

I LOVE DISCIPLE. They rock, sing, and scream just as loud as any of them. But they are UNASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL. KEEP HEADBANGING FOR THE LORD,

[Kfantasy_]

I was SA'ed when I was 18, and came close to "ending it all" after the assault 😢 I would stay in my room for days and just cry. I had told my friends, but they didn't believe me 😢 One day, when I was feeling really down to the point that I was thinking "I can't take this anymore", my stereo came on (it had a short in it; turn off and on) and Air1 was playing Disciple's song Dear X (you don't own me). I listened and then broke down in tears. God was talking to me through Disciple. Disciple saved my life ❤❤❤❤ I made my Promise after hearing Promise to Live for the first time when they were at WinterJam ❤🫶 I'm married to the best husband in the world, and I have 2 beautiful children now. I'm living the best life I could have only ever imagined. I have the word "Promise" tattooed on the outside of my right wrist. That way, with my hand on my heart, I keep my Promise to Live for my family. I love this album and the band Disciple so much. I can't wait for the music video.

You can always count on Disciple putting out honest to God, Jesus Rock! No mamby pamby cross over stuff! They are NOT ashamed of the gospel!

When this song first dropped I was laying in bed, I grabbed my headphones so I didn’t wake my husband. And immediately burst into tears. This song transported me back to being alone in my bedroom 8 years ago when I was sooo depressed, struggling badly with self harm. That night God gave me a dream and He spoke to me. The next day I put my “tools” in the offering basket at church, as a symbol of giving it all up for good and fully surrendering everything to God. This song explains exactly what it felt like to really encounter Christ in the midst of the darkest time in life. He was never not there. I just didn’t know how to hear Him. But He saved my life and has showed up for me countless times since. This song means soo much me too and to everyone who listens😭🫶🏻

I fell out of faith many years ago. But while I was still going to youth group I found these guys and saw them live with Superchick. Even got to meet the band after the show. The album Scars Remain was played in my car all throughout my teens. Even through all the hate I had for God and his Church at that point in my life. This band spoke to me. Their songs Someone and After The World got me through so much hardship, and I am so grateful for that. God called me home little over a year ago. Praise The Lord God Almighty!

"You cant imagine why all this happened. Dont close your eyes. I vow to hold you, until you breakthrough. Just swear youll stay alive. All your death will be resurrected again. Put you hand on my heart, make me a promise to

Your life matters

[sarahwilliamsen]

I promise to live because after struggleing with depression since age eleven my dad suddlenly died from a rare heart condition I also have. My life changed overnight. I went from just trying to survive depression to living my lfe to the fullest and trying to honor God with whatever time I have left-whether ir be nine years or ninety.

[Julie-vezo]

I just came out of severe postpartum anxiety and depression. Praise the Lord for putting the right people in my life so I could get the help I needed. Lord, be with all those struggling as you were with me.
Your music has always been an inspiration. I'm grateful there are good media sources available, especially now that I'm a parent. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

[ismakulit]

God bless those who made testimonies here.
I'm also blessed to read all of your testimonies and I pray that whatever brokenness I have today, becomes a great victory in the days to come.
Help me in prayers brothers, thank you.

[TechnoIogyy]

Just went to their concert in Pearland TX, they played this song now I'm attached. Thank you Jesus for what you have sacrificed for us, Thank you God for everything you bless us with.

[jimmajor]

Honestly, I am a Combat Veteran from Iraq and Afghanistan. I struggle with PTSD and depression. Disciple really lifts me up like no other Christian band has done in a very long time. Listening to Disciple is like listening to Petra from my youth days, Disciple Rocks! I thank God for Disciple.

Jeremiah 29:11
 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

My first time hearing this song was also my first time seeing Disciple in concert. It was in Huntington, AR on November 15, 2023. I’ve made a Promise To Live and share the Gospel of Jesus every single day since that night. Just as the video says at the end if you are going through something or you know someone who is going through something, I want you to know one thing: YOU MATTER! Not just to your family or friends, but also to the one who created you! Isaiah 43:1 “But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name. You are mine.”” You might be going through the hardest season of your life, but always remember you belong to a King and you matter to Him! He loves you!

[drummerofblackmarketcurren]

I'm listening to to this sobbing. I'm still here.

[mr.noahfabi]

Bless the Lord The king of kings The alpha and omega The savior Jesus Christ!!!!

[scottwood]

I don’t understand why this song makes me cry. Last couple of years has been hard. But that line, “ Al your death will be resurrected again” Thank you. Give me hope in what God is doing in my broken spaces.
