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
