Standing on the promises of Christ, my King!
Through eternal ages let His praises ring.
"Glory in the highest!" I will shout and sing,
standing on the promises of God.
Refrain:
Standing, standing,
standing on the promises of God, my Savior;
standing, standing,
I'm standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises that cannot fail!
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
by the living Word of God I shall prevail,
standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
Standing on the promises, I now can see
perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
Standing on the promises of Christ, the Lord,
bound to Him eternally by love's strong cord,
overcoming daily with the Spirit's Sword,
standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
list'ning ev'ry moment to the Spirit's call,
resting in my Savior as my all in all,
standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
