Lyrics

Verse 1
Standing on the pro­mis­es of Christ my king, (II Pet. 1:4)
Through eter­nal ages let His prais­es ring, (Ps. 145:1-2, Eph. 3:21)
Glory in the high­est, I will shout and sing, (Luke 2:14)
Standing on the pro­mis­es of God.

Chorus
Standing, stand­ing,
Standing on the pro­mises of God my Sav­ior;
Standing, stand­ing,
I’m stand­ing on the pro­mises of God.

Verse 2
Standing on the pro­mises that can­not fail, (Josh. 21:45, Josh. 23:14, I Kings 8:56, Isa. 55:11)
When the howl­ing storms of doubt and fear as­sail,
By the liv­ing Word of God I shall pre­vail, (Heb. 4:12, I Pet. 1:23)
Standing on the pro­mis­es of God.

Verse 3
Standing on the pro­mis­es I now can see
Perfect, pre­sent cleans­ing in the blood for me; (I John 1:7, Heb. 9:14, Rev. 1:5)
Standing in the li­ber­ty where Christ makes free, (Gal. 5:1, John 8:36)
Standing on the pro­mis­es of God.

Verse 4
Standing on the pro­mis­es of Christ the Lord, (II Pet. 1:3-4)
Bound to Him eter­nal­ly by love’s strong cord, (Hosea 11:4, Jer. 31:3)
Overcoming dai­ly with the Spir­it’s sword, (Eph. 6:17)
Standing on the pro­mis­es of God.

Verse 5
Standing on the pro­mis­es I can­not fall,
Listening ev­ery mo­ment to the Spir­it’s call
Resting in my Sav­ior as my all in all, (Matt. 11:28-29, Col. 3:11, I Cor. 15:28)
Standing on the pro­mis­es of God.
