Don Francisco - I Could Never Promise You

Just a wedding song

[@cathieumstead7061]

My husband and I were married with the lyrics of this song playing an important part. 38 years strong and still going!!!!!

[@sandyjohnson459]

May of 1979, my husband and I had this sung at our wedding. We sensed that the presence of the Holy Spirit was so present! Now coming up to 44 years, and with 4 sons married to beautiful, Godly women, and 17 grandchildren (so far:-) this song still has deep meaning for us. Our love is deeper and sweeter than ever! Marriage can be the "bit of heaven on earth" it was meant to be, when Jesus is honored as Lord!!

30 years ago last February I met my wife Roxanne. I remember one of the first times I held her in my arms, and told her of the Love that God had for her and how much I loved her. It was a very special moment, one of those moment when God shows up, as I held her and assured her of his Divine love for her, she wept freely in my arms. My heart was bonded to hers. I knew she was to be my wife. Well just four months later we married, and having prayed about the music at our wedding we had some of our best friends, Bill and Anne Tanner sing this song. Through 30 years of marriage, I have remember this song many times, in the good times and difficult ones, it has been His love in our hearts and lives that has carried us through. Today, she still raptures my heart, I love her dearly. It is amazing what a Christ centered marriage is like. We have prayed through lifes good and bad. May His name be Praised.

1979. Our wedding song too.

[@margaretthompson865]

If everyone could feel and think honestly the truth of this song, there would be no divorce! Praise God!

[@bradfarha3385]

I sang this song to my wife at our wedding in March 1984. 34 years later God is still faithful to us!

[@lizmartin4372]

They sang this song at my niece Tasha and and Charles Yoders' wedding on Jan. 29,2022 and I was moved to tears. Powerful words for newly weds to share!

[@rebeccasmith8812]

This was our wedding song 50 beautiful years ago...still loving each other deeply.

[@rebeccasmith8812]

Correction: 40 years ago

[@kellybrigode1561]

This song was sang at our wedding nearly 38 years ago. I remember the music but the lyrics have been so special , the years the holy spirit reminds me of love of god and faithfulness he has been in our lives even when i was running. And the love we still have each year is a gift.

[@deniseb1023]

Not sure I know how to add my message other than commenting, but my husband and I played this at our wedding in 1991. He passed away last month, and listening to this again really makes me happy we had the Lord in our lives. I also sure do appreciate Don Francisco's music, too. Thanks Don!

[@elwee97]

I hope you are doing ok by now. It must be very hard to miss your husband, but I read so much love and gratefulness in your message🥹. I just heard this song a few days ago and it made me cry so hard. My marriage of five years is very sad because my husband has a hard time being trustworthy😢. But I trust in God! 🙏🏻🥹💖

[@deniseb1023]

@@elwee97 I am getting through it. It's a roller-coaster of emotions for sure. Pray every day for your husband and seek God's will in everything. Best advice I have. HE is faithful to us in all things even when we can't see the plan. Hugs.

[@kellyvetter1391]

A friend sang this song at our wedding over 38 years ago, 1982. How could we have known, at such a young age, how appropriate are the lyrics. Thank You to Mr. Francisco, who was able to articulate these truths so beautifully. We are living out, what we, by ourselves, would not have been able to do... have strong and fulfilling marriage. Thankful for our Savior's grace during the "dry" and "unappealing" times :) !!!

[@michaelicornelius]

I based and used the sentiments of this song as part of my marriage vows.

[@DKSierraLeone]

June 1980--My wife and I chose this song to be sung at our wedding. Now almost 33 years later, seven children and many grandchildren we are more in love than ever. Keep your eyes on the Lord, give your heart to the Lord and you can only grow. PTL!

[@gregadamo4423]

DKSierraLeone amen! Married 22 years!

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

Awesome!

[@musicluvnmomof2]

My husband sang this song to me at our wedding in 1987 too!! 25 years this year and still growing together! When he sang this to me there was not a dry eye in the church! powerful message! I love my husband today more than ever!

[@IdeamanMiki]

I recited the lyrics to my wife, from the altar at our wedding 23 years ago. Do the same and you will never forget your promise.

[@kimwilt5811]

Miki O ....We played this in our wedding 23 years ago 12/4/93

[@kristenclare3038]

My hubby sand this to me on our wedding day 33 years ago!

[@nathanmarybethlunde42]

My husband and I sang this to each other June 28, 1986 and then at his sister's wedding 4 years later. Now our daughter is being married on Sunday and we will share this song (which they won't know) at the rehearsal dinner. This is what every marriage needs - Jesus to be the center and strength.

[@jeanboustead7562]

I love this song and have put the shorter version inside of wedding cards. I’ve been asked to send a greeting for a wedding and looked up the song here. I hadn’t heard Don Francesco sing it. It almost made me cry. I lost my husband 6 years ago and I say that love doesn’t die with death in Christ.

[@jeffdorfner847]

I feel your pain but jesus is all trust me

[@rosalenemullins7856]

This was sung at our wedding in 1984 because I had a bible teacher who introduced us to christian music. Once I heard this, I knew one day that I would have it as my wedding song. 37.5 years later and I am now including it in the video presentation at my husbands funeral while we show our wedding pictures.

[@markhoneck5555]

This was played at our wedding in January 1982. Listening to it after all these years really brought back memories and the room got a little dusty (eyes watered a bit). The words ring true more than ever. It's still getting better every year.

[@robertkerr9527]

This was sung at our wedding in 1995. A beautiful song 🎵 ❤.

[@daughterfromgrace]

My husband sang this song to me on at our wedding, 1986. We are still going strong too. It is a wonderful song, Wonderful message.

[@kimwilt5811]

We played this song "I could never promise you" in our Wedding 23 years ago. It meant so much back then and still speaks to us today. Thank you Don for this song....... In Christ Dave & Kim

[@prodigal65]

What memories my first wife & I shared - this was a spcl one! Long story- bitter tears - daily troubles continued into months, then years! It's all over now, family too is gone... BUT after years in the process... this Prodigal came home to his Father... PTL Jesus is enough! (Tho I now have second wife- a darling & another family too! Jesus can make all of it right! My prayers to/for them - I'll see them over there! JESUS NEVER FAILS - Only 1 place in Bible - God ran to meet His prodigal son!!

[@school42boys]

I sang this song to my groom 28 years ago today. And praise God that His love continues to flourish and grow.

[@carygavlin103]

My husband sang this to me on our wedding day, 25 years ago. Amazing and powerful true words.

[@Tannetrekker]

A very special song. I sang this song for my wife on our wedding day in 1990...and still mean every word!

[@ddl1986]

My sister-in-law & brother-in-law sang this at my wedding. ❤

[@barefootdyke]

my husband sang this to me in our wedding also, in 1983. sadly, ours did not last. i was the one to leave. thankfuly, we're still at least friends. but this song certainly brought back some memories ...

[@TheDabikeman]

I sang this song accompanied by to friends playing the music for my wedding on June 17,1995 for my wife during our wedding. Of course my people were surprised, and many tears were shed. My friend and best man help me to point me to this wonderful song.

[@lanaignjatovic3193]

This was our wedding song, 29 years ago today. 19 December 1992 to 19 December 2021. ❤🙏🥰

[@brooklynchadwick8930]

I came here looking for the song sung at one of my cousins weddings. I was one of the flower girls. But that marriage didn't last . I wanted to listen to it to remember what it used to be like! I cried for a long time as I listened. I wish they had kept their vows.

[@consghancharlie]

*I could never promise you on just my strength alone* *That all my life I'd care for you, and love you as my own* *I've never known the future, I only see today* *Words that last a lifetime would be more than I could say* *But the love inside my heart today(tonight) is more than mine alone* *It never changes, it never fails, never seeks it's own* *And by the God who gives it, and who lives in me and you* *I know the words I speak today(tonight) are words I'm going to do* *And so I stand before you now for all to hear and see* *I promise you in Jesus' name the love He's given me* *And through the years on earth and as eternity goes by* *The life and love He's given us are never going to die* *And so I stand before you now for all to hear and see* *I promise you in Jesus' name the love He's given me* *And through the years on earth and as eternity goes by* *The life and love He's given us are never going to die* *The life and love He's given us are never going to die*

[@thomasbelcher8051]

This was sung in our wedding July 12, 1986. As we lit the Unity candle I sang it low to my beautiful bride.

After 6 short months of marriage, my wife got into a nearly fatal car accident that left her a quadriplegic. Months later, when the therapists and aides came to our home with my wife strapped to a wheelchair. I played and sang this song to her with tears. A couple years later, I quit my career to stay/work at home to help her get better and she did get better, although many severe neurological and physical problems followed. A few years ago, she got breast cancer, surgically removed, chemo, radiation, etc. Thought all was well until we found it went to the spine. Then due to weaknesses/complications from the first accident, the cancer spread further into the cervical area. Fight it hard for 4 years we did, but it was a horrible drawn out painful process which paralyzed her again and finally took her life 11-05-2018. I had been her at-home 24/7 caregiver for nearly 30 years since her first accident and in the final days I could do little more than kiss and weep over her. I wish I would of sang her this song one more time. Just one more time.

[@brooklynchadwick8930]

Wow!!! I'm just about to cry😭😢! Sorry for your loss!

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

@@brooklynchadwick8930Thank you for a reply. I cry often for her, even now.

[@brooklynchadwick8930]

@@SpaceCadet4Jesus praying for you brother. I keep on wanting to reading your comment. I've never known anyone could love someone so much! It about made me cry! I'm sure she felt it while she was here. Your love for her inspires me to love my family more! Thanks brother!

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

@@brooklynchadwick8930 Thanks Bro. Through the years, I've heard this same comment from a lot of people. I never could see what people saw in us, but maybe I'm getting an idea that if our painful journey can inspire someone to really deeply serve their family in love, then I'm glad our pain can be someone else's victory/help/etc... Just so you know, we had an easy relationship our entire marriage, we put each other first and loved each other in a way words cannot express and it didn't even feel like serving. There are a few very unusual happenings during our 30 year journey which when people learn of they say "you should write a book" or "that'd make a great movie", but I'm not a book writer and I shun the spotlight. I know one thing though, I'm absolutely certain there are other commendable people whose story is not told and who silently but painfully support their spouse under harsh conditions. I pray for these people and if I can help, I will. I've learned that nothing purchase-able in this life really matters when your family's health/life is in trouble and that nothing else matters when your own health is in jeopardy. These are the things we struggled with.

[@abigailhustad799]

I grew up listening to my dad sing and play this song on his guitar -- very special song to him and my mom (married in the 80's). I recently married and this was the song we chose to play while my father walked me down the aisle.

[@besping]

This was our wedding song in 1995. In 2008, he left me for another woman. Talk about bittersweet memories.

[@chez1231]

This was our song in October 1988, almost 25 years ago....we mean't every word.

What album does this version of I Could Never Promise You come from? I want to use it for my first dance song, but I haven't been able to find this version for purchase anywhere! Its so beautiful, I really want this to be our first dance... if anyone knows where I can find this version please let me know =) Thanks!

[@deniseb1023]

Sorry, I was on vacation when I saw your question, had to wait until I got home to look at it. It's called THE LIVE CONCERT. I found his website and requested 3 copies, 1 for me, 1 for my mother and 1 for my grandmother. He burned them himself and even signed the CD's. There are 18 songs on it. I have no idea whether there are any other "live" albums out there, but it is called THE LIVE CONCERT.

[@deniseb1023]

Also, we played this at our wedding, but there's an intro that flips everyone out and we included all of it. Had everyone crying! I removed it for this slideshow.

[@MariaB-G]

Thanks for the info Denise!!!! I will contact him right away! God bless!
