lyrics

A Long, Long Time Ago
Tinker/Cox

1. A long, long time ago

When Adam and Eve had sinned 

The Lord God made a promise 

That sin would never win

He would send a serpent crusher 

Who would beat sin and death

So we could live in the garden

And have eternal rest
That was his promise

Long ago

Would he keep his promise? 

The people really hoped so

Bridge

Many years passed

But the king didn't show-oh

You know he didn’t show-oh

So they hung on to

The only thing they ever knew

Chorus 

God always keeps his promises 

God always does what he says 

God always keeps his promises 

So we can trust in Him 

Yeah, we can trust in Him

2. A long, long time ago

The prophet Malachi did say

The Lord God makes a promise

That he will win the day

He will come and bring great justice 

And make a people for his own

He will send a special prophet

Who will change hearts of stone
That was his promise
Long ago

Would he keep his promise? 

The people really hoped so

Bridge 

Chorus x2 



3. A long, long time ago

When Jesus was going home

The Lord God made a promise

That one day He’d return

He’ll keep His promise
