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.  

Refrain:  
Standing, standing,  
Standing on the promises of God, 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, 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]  

4 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]  

5 Standing on the promises I cannot fall,  
List'ning every moment to the Spirit's call,  
Resting in my Savior as my All in All,  
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
