30. Standing On the Promises

1 Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Thro' eternal ages let His praises ring;
Glory in the highest I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

Chorus:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God, my Saviour;
Standing, standing,
I'm standing on the promises of God.

2 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. [Chorus]

3 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. [Chorus]

4 Standing on the promises I can not fall,
List'ning ev'ry moment to the Spirit's call,
Resting in my Saviour as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God. [Chorus]
