"Promises" by Anneline Hugo: Trusting God When Worlds Crumble


Anneline Hugo's "Promises" is a deeply personal and heartfelt song about holding onto God's Word when life feels overwhelming. The song was co-written with Carli Lessing and reminds us that even when "the earth itself is crumbling," God is and always will be our refuge and strength. The chorus declares, "I'll hold onto you when my world falls apart… For all of your promises are yes and amen," emphasizing the essence of trust in His faithfulness. 

Anneline Hugo - PromisesThis is a song that is born out of Anneline's faith journey. Anneline shares: "This is a song that is very special to us. … My husband has been fighting cancer since 2018 and this song is born out of that struggle—the Lord has always been faithful and His character and promises have been like an anchor for us in our storms."

The lyrics contain such an important message, especially if you're currently facing some hard times in your life. "He loves you with an everlasting love. He wraps you in His arms. He will never let you go, even when you feel alone. He has a greater plan and has prepared good things for you." So, trust Him and His promises! 

Interesting to note that this song won the category for best CCM in Mercy Tribe's competition for female Christian songwriters. This appreciation gave them the last nudge to actually release it! 

If you're searching for a song to remind you of God's promises, may "Promises" speak to your heart and strengthen your faith.
