Standing On The Promises Of Christ My King

After talking to Mabel that night, a couple of things threw me off my feet. The year is coming to an end, but my journey with the Lord- not too great. I am still a little worried 'bout me studying here. I am not enjoying the course, and do so wish to run away from it now. I feel really very lost as to what I should do. But then, plenty of things start popping into my head after that conversation, and it never did stop! This hymn was one of them...yeah, I went a lil 'hymny'. Assuring...spirit-lifting...

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.

Chorus: 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.

3. Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.

4. 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.

5. Standing on the promises I shall not 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.
