1Standing on the promises of Christ, my King!
2Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
3Standing on the promises, I now can see
4Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
5Standing on the promises, I cannot fall,
1Through eternal ages let His praises ring;
2When the howling storms of doubt and fears assail,
3Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
4Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
5List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call,
1″Glory in the highest!” I will shout and sing,
2By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
3Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
4Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
5Resting in my Saviour as my All-in-All,
1Standing on the promises of God.
2Standing on the promises of God.
3Standing on the promises of God.
4Standing on the promises of God.
5Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of Christ my Saviour;
Standing, standing
I’m standing on the promises of God.
