Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

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]

Bound to Him eternally by love's strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]

Listening every moment to the Spirit's call,
Resting in my Savior as my all-in-all,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
