"This is my song -- I wrote it. It's a song about sexual purity. Keep your promise before the Lord ans wait until He brings you the one you are to marry. Everybody says, 'don't commit fornication' from the pulpit, but I wanted to put it in the positive as something young people could say for themselves. I am saying it for myself, and it's not like I am not tempted like everyone else my age. I just choose not to act on those thoughts." -- Jaci Velasquez

Lord, You know my heart
And all my desires
And the secret things I'll never tell.
Lord, You know them well.
Though I may be young,
I see and understand
That at times, like sheep, we go astray
And things get out of hand.

So I promise to be true to You,
To live my life in purity
As unto You, waiting for the day
When I hear You say,
"Here is the one I have created
Just for you."

Until then, O Lord
I will be content
Knowing that true love will come someday.
It will only come from You.
'Cause I have seen the suffering
That loneliness can cause
When we choose to give our love away
Without a righteous cause.

So I promise to be true to You,
To live my life in purity
As unto You, waiting for the day
When I hear You say,
"Here is the one I have created
Just for you."
