Standing on the Promises

221 Standing on the Promises

1 Standing on the promises of Christ, my King,
   Through 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 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]

4 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]

Surprisingly, this hymn only occurs in about 420 hymnals. Well, maybe not so surprisingly, as it's more a gospel song than a hymn, but YMMV.
