Standing on the Promises

(verse one)

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Thru 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.

(verse two)

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:

(verse three)

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:

(verse four)

Standing on the promises I cannot fail,

List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call,

Resting in my Saviour as my all in all,

Standing on the promises of God.

CHORUS:

by R. Kelso Carter (1849-1928)
