About this Hymn
The New Testament speaks often of being firm in the faith (1 Cor. 16:13; Phil. 1:27; 1 Pet. 5:9), standing fast in what we have been taught (2 Thess. 2:15); it admonishes us to "hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful" (Heb. 10:23). Therefore we do well to encourage each other in the faith and to voice our own commitment to what we believe.
Lyrics
Verse 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,
Chorus
standing on the promises of God. Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God my Savior; standing, standing, I'm standing on the promises of God.

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,
Verse 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 Christ my King, through eternal ages let his praises ring; glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Chorus
standing on the promises of God. Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God my Savior; standing, standing, I'm standing on the promises of God.
