Swing out on the promises, the never failing promises;
Promises of Christ the Lord divine,
Cross the line of Canaan on His everlasting promises,
He will make your paths to glory shine.
Swing out on the promises, Jehovah's blessed promises;
Trusting in His power to make your whole;
He will not forsake the ones who trust His sacred promises,
Cast on Him the burdens of your soul.
Sing out on the promises, the holy Master's promises;
Give your life completely to the Lord;
He will not forsake the soul who trusts in His great promises,
Swing out on the promises of His Word.
- E. M. Bartlett -
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Chorus
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
- R. Kelso Carter -
Bible scholars have pointed out that the phrase "fear not"
appears in the Bible 365 times-
a reassuring promise for each day of the year.
A daily dependence upon the divine promises
is the only real remedy for our human fears.
The promises of God. . .
they are "yea and amen,"
the only assurance on which we can stand.
Whereby are given unto us
exceeding great and precious promises.
- 2 Peter 1:4a -
Blessings and joy to you on this Lord's Day.
Love and hugs!
