Standing on the promises of Christ my King

I used to sing this wonderful song together with my fellow Christian brothers and sisters in Manchester Chinese Christian Church. We sang it loud and clear, declaring the foundation of our faith in Christ Jesus alone.

We don't sing this song in church anymore. The younger generation has their very own favorites just like we had ours at our good old days. However, I praise God for the young generation. They are not the future of our church, they are indeed part of the church today. It is neither the type of songs we sing nor the kind of music we appreciate that will divide us.The most important element which unite all of us together, young and old, is our common faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in whom we stand and declare our praises and pledge our loyalty.

For those of you who are in my generation, this is the song you would appreciate to hear it again. For those who are much younger, why don't you hear and see why this song is popular in your father's generation.

STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST MY KING

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 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.
