Verse 1

G                                      C             G
A hand of fear gripped the crowd, that day at Jairus' home
                           D                  G
When the doctor shook his head and said she's gone
G
You could feel that mother's heart break
           C                G
You could hear them cry and mourn
                       D                G 
Their little girl was only twelve years old
G
Somewhere in the distance
C                   G
Outlined against the sun
                         D              G
There came a Man on a mission from the throne
G 
They said "look somebody's coming"
     C                G
But what they did not know
                             D              G
It was their Promise coming down that dusty road


Chorus

G
There's a Promise coming down that dusty road
                                   D
From His holy hand healing virtue flows
              G
He's got the keys to what you need
           C              G
Death and hell He will defeat
                          D              G
There's a Promise coming down that dusty road


Verse 2

G#m
The wonder turned to mocking
       C#         G#m
When Jesus did speak
                                    D#                G#m
'Cause He said your daughter's not dead She's just asleep
          G#m
Then He turned to the unbelievers
        C#                 G#m
And He told them all "go home"
            G#m                D#            G#m
They heard Him say "Leave Me and death alone."
G#m
And then He laid His hand upon the child
         C#                       G#
And He looked death right in the eye
          G#
He said, "All power in Heaven
              D#
and earth it belongs to me"
            G#
And with a voice that sounds like thunder
     C#             G#
He hurled death asunder 
                   D#             C#
He said "my child rise and be healed"


Chorus

G
There's a Promise coming down that dusty road
                                   D
From His holy hand healing virtue flows
              G
He's got the keys to what you need
           C              G
Death and hell He will defeat
                          D              G
There's a Promise coming down that dusty road
