You Can't Stand On Promises (If You Don't Know What They Are)

You can go to church twice on Sunday, and make the Wednesday service too,

You don't even need a songbook to sing Hymn 142,

You can sing "Standing on the Promises" and repeat the last four bars,

..but you can't stand on promises, if you don't know what they are.

     You can listen to a thousand sermons, but you never really heard,

     That the only way your life will change,  is if you get into God's Word!

     You can try to walk on water, but you'll never get too far

     ..cause you can't stand on promises, if you don't know what they are

If there's a trip to the Holy Land, you'll be the first to go,

You give $10 to the mission field -and let everybody know

Your service as an usher, outshines the brightest star

..but you can't stand on promises, if you don't know what they are

     You raised your hand and you met the Lord, twenty years ago,

     ...but John 3:16 and Psalm 23 are the only verses you know

     You can see why things aren't working, why things aren't up to par

     ..cause you can't stand on promises, if you don't know what they are
