STANDING ON THE WORD OF GOD Lyrics

I am standing on the Word of God

Which came to men of old

The Holy Book our fathers loved

And treasured more than gold

I am standing on the Word of God

'Tis holy and 'tis true

Through ages it has been our light

With splendor ever new

I am standing, standing on the Word

Though the earth change and decay

It shall never, never pass away

I am standing on the Word of God

I am standing on the Word of God

'Tis full of life divine

God's Spirit lives in ev'ry word

And moves in ev'ry line

I am standing on the Word of God

And thus I am secure

Though blows the tempest wild and hard

'Twill evermore endure

I am standing on the Word of God

And on my dying bed

I'll share its consolations, Lord

When death's dark vale I tread
