We sang this song in church this morning and I thought I would share the words to it with you.
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 Christ 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,
listening every moment to the Spirit's call,
resting in my Savior as my all in all,
standing on the promises of God.
(Refrain)

Hi Nancy, I love this old hymn. My dad's best friend, Charles, always sat with us at church. He had beautiful bass voice and I always loved to hear him sing this song.
I'm singing now...
I love this old hymn!
A beautiful hymn! Thanks for posting it.
I love that hymn.. all those old songs remind me of going to our family church in Louisiana with my grandparents and cousins. Now I'm going to be humming this all day (Definitely not complaining about that, though).
I love this song...have you heard the upbeat version by The Martins?? So wonderful! blessings,Kathleen
That was my favorite song to play on the piano when I was growing up!!!
This is a good one, Nancy! I always loved it!
As I was reading this hymn I began singing it, can't help it! "resting in my Savior as my all in all"...may that be my heart song!
Nancy-love the old song-one of those songs I know every word too. And now after reading it-I'll be singing it for the rest of the night!
