About this Hymn
This song is used best either before or after the preaching of the Word. It can also be used in a call-and-response style. They say Irish music moved to America and became bluegrass—so this is our humble tribute to those who generations before us brought their music, lives, and faith to the brave new world!
Lyrics
Verse 1
From the breaking of the dawn to the setting of the sun, I will stand on ev'ry promise of your word. Words of power, strong to save, that will never pass away, I will stand on ev'ry promise of your word. For your covenant is sure, and on this I am secure— I can stand on ev'ry promise of your word.
Verse 2
When I stumble and I sin, condemnation pressing in, I will stand on ev'ry promise of your word. You are faithful to forgive, that in freedom I might live, so I'll stand on ev'ry promise of your word. Guilt to innocence restored; you remember sins no more— so I'll stand on ev'ry promise of your word.
Verse 3
When I'm faced with anguished choice, I will listen for your voice, and I'll stand on ev'ry promise of your word. Through this dark and troubled land, you will guide me with your hand as I stand on ev'ry promise of your word. And you've promised to complete ev'ry work begun in me— so I'll stand on ev'ry promise of your word.
Verse 4
Hope that lifts me from despair, love that casts out ev'ry fear, as I stand on ev'ry promise of your word. Not forsaken, not alone, for the Comforter has come, and I stand on ev'ry promise of your word. Grace sufficient, grace for me, grace for all who will believe— we will stand on ev'ry promise of your word.
