Additional Information

1 There are great and precious promises for all who will believe;
And the children of the Father's love His gracious gifts receive.
When my outward strength is nearly gone and I cannot bear the test,
He assures me of the promises on which my faith can rest.

Chorus:

I'll tarry here by the promises and wait on the Lord;
Knowing each promise brings His sure reward.
I'm holding fast to His promises; Not one word will fail.
I'll focus on the Mighty One Whose promises prevail.

2 When I'm compassed 'round on every side and I cannot see His face,
When I wander dry and desert lands and search for streams of grace,
When my heart is bound by grief and woe, or robed in leaves of shame,
By each perfect promise in His Word, my Savior writes my name.

3 Not a pledge He gives He'll not redeem, not a hope He'll not fulfill;
And where His finger points the way, He'll show His perfect will.
When the night is dark and the future veiled, when my eyes long for the light,
He will meet me where His promises shine brightly in the night.

Sheet Music file (.pdf) also available.

Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.

All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
