2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Some of my favorite promises are:
“… him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37);
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matt. 11:28, 29)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
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 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, — List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call, — Resting in my Savior as my all in all, — Standing on the promises of God.
R. Kelso Carter 1886
