For May 19th:

“Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.” Psalm 106:12

 “Standing on the Promises”

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.

Standing on the promises 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.

(Chorus)

Standing, Standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I’m 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.

(Chorus)

Standing, Standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I’m standing on the promises of God….
