THE OPENING HYMN
Standing On the Promises #424
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.
Refrain:
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, standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
Standing on the promises I cannot fall, list'ning ev'ry moment to the Spirit’s call, resting in my Savior as my all in all, standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
THE CHORAL RESPONSE
There is a sweet anointing in the sanctuary, there is a stillness in the atmosphere, o come lay down the burdens you have carried, for in the sanctuary; God is here, Oh come lay down the burdens you have carried, for in the sanctuary; God is here.
