Lord, we walk by faith and not by sight
Sometimes we can�??t see beyond the night
But we know beyond the gloom there�??s light
I am standing on Your promises
Jobs are gone, the economy has failed
But were praying that our land You�??ll heal
And we know through faith we will prevail
Yes I am standing on Your promises
I�??m standing on Your promise
Trusting in Your word I�??m
Standing on Your promise
Trusting in Your word
Standing on Your promises
Standing, standing, standing on the promises of Christ my Savior
Standing, standing
