Standing on the Promises

I has been such a great privilege to read God's Word to my mom these last couple of days. She has always emphasized to me the importants of reading, memorizing and meditating on it and now I am so blessed to get the opportunity to help her continue to do those things.

Yesterday I went through and read as many descriptions of Heaven as I could remember. I could barely get through most of the passages because I am really just so excited that she is going to soon experience this firsthand.

We will continue today :)


This song has been ministering to her for quite a while now. The enemy has been attacking and God has used this song, as well as the whole album to remind her who He is. She plays the album 24 hours a day basically. 

"Every Promise of Your Word"

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.
Words and Music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend
