Every Promise of Your Word
By Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
Song Lyrics
From the breaking of the dawn to the setting of the sun,
I will stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
Words of power, strong to save, that will never pass away,
I will stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
For Your covenant is sure,
And on this I am secure—
I can stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
When I stumble and I sin, condemnation pressing in,
I will stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
You are faithful to forgive that in freedom I might live,
So I stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
Guilt to innocence restored,
You remember sins no more—
So I’ll stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
When I’m faced with anguished choice, I will listen for Your voice,
And I’ll stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
Through this dark and troubled land
You will guide me with Your hand
As I stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
And You’ve promised to complete
Ev’ry work begun in me—
So I’ll stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
Hope that lifts me from despair, love that casts out ev’ry fear,
As I stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
Not forsaken, not alone, for the Comforter has come,
And I stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.
Grace sufficient, grace for me,
Grace for all who will believe—
We will stand on ev’ry promise of Your Word.

The Word of God is faithful and true, and because of it, we can have confidence that every promise God has made is sure. If God had lied even once, we would all be lost.
Humans tend to base their hope and their confidence on the people and things of this world. However, the people and things of this world will inevitably disappoint. As believers make their way through this world, we don’t have to cling to the people and promises of this world. Instead, in every situation, we adhere to God and the steadfast promises of his Word. There is no condition or circumstance where his Word and his promises are not our comfort and confidence.
God in his Word continues to do the work that he had promised he would do, taking the guilty and announcing them “innocent” through faith in Christ. Through the Word, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, announces, again and again, his grace and goodness.

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

All of scripture is intended to kindle and to fuel HOPE in the crucified and risen Messiah as Lord and God.
Without God, all of humanity is lost in a sea of sin and hopelessness without direction.
Through the working of the Holy Spirit God’s Word binds believers to the promises of the crucified, risen, and ascended Christ.
