1 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 Christ my Savior; 
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. (Refrain) 

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. (Refrain) 

4 Standing on the promises I cannot fall, 
listening every moment to the Spirit's call, 
resting in my Savior as my all in all, 
standing on the promises of God. (Refrain)
