The Gospel Awakening ‎#65

65. 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 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. [Chorus]

4. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bounding to him eternally by love's strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirits's sword,
Standing on the promises of God. [Chorus]

5. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirits's call,
Resting in my Saviour, as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God. [Chorus]
