The Heritage delivers a soul-stirring live performance of ‘The Promise’ in a new video. 
The song is gentle, mellow, and an endearing reminder of God’s sweet promise. Play the video to hear the beautiful, musical letter to listeners. 

Christian musical group The Heritage sings a wholesome acknowledgment to God and listeners in their song, “The Promise.” The song talks about the candid need for God’s strength amid the struggles of life. That strength is restored through God’s presence and promise and the Holy Ghost. Some of the song’s wonderful lyrics are:

‘Then I hear the words of Jesus  
And the promise that He made  
That soon He would be leaving  
But His presence would remain’

‘The Promise’ is such an encouraging song that many believers can relate to. We all may feel weary at times, but there is hope through God’s presence and promises. 

In the video of The Heritage’s live performance of the song, the group starts out with lead singer Joshua Phillips singing and playing the guitar. The whole band plays instruments and/or sings backup, along with some other supporting voices. About 20 people are on the stage. Joshua’s wife, Jessalyn Phillips, steps in to sing a solo verse midway through the song before being joined by Joshua. Her voice, strong and sweet, complements her husband’s well. 

Many aspects of the live performance make it feel like an immersive experience. The carpeted stage is low, with many people worshipping on it. The lights are low; the room isn’t large. The crowd is tight, and everyone has their hands lifted in praise, singing along at times. It just goes to show the collective experience believers feel to follow Jesus and know the presence of the Holy Spirit. 

“In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.” Ephesians 1:13
