Standing on the Promises

Representative Text

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 ev'ry moment to the Spirit's call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]

---

1 Todas las promesas del Señor Jesús,
son apoyo poderoso de mi fe;
mientras viva aquí cercado de su luz,
siempre en sus promesas confiaré.

Estribillo:
Grandes, fieles,
las promesas que el Señor Jesús ha dado,
Grandes, fieles,
en ellas para siempre confiaré.

2 Todas las promesas del Señor serán
gozo y fuerza en nuestra vida terrenal;
ellas en la dura lid nos sostendrán,
y triunfar podremos sobre el mal. [Estribillo]

3 Todas sus promesas me ayudarán
a vencer las tentaciones de Satán;
puedo yo confiar en que mi Salvaador
con su dulce voz me guiara. [Estribillo]

4 Todas sus promesas para el pueblo fiel,
el Señor en sus bandades cumplirá,
y confiado sé que para siempre en él
pas eterna mi alma gozará. [Estribillo]
