This pancocojams post provides examples of the African American Gospel song by Norman Hutchins entitled "I Am Standing On His Promises" [2nd line: I believe what His word says".

This song shouldn't be confused with the Christian hymn "Standing On The Promises"* or several other Christian songs with similar titles.

LYRICS: STANDING ON HIS PROMISES OF GOD
(Norman Hutchins)

[Chorus:]
I am standing on His promises,
I believe what His word says.

I am standing on His promises,
I believe what His word says.

I have faith that God will do just what He said;
I am standing on the promises of God.

[Verse:]
If you have faith, the size of mustard seed,
You can speak to the mountains in Your life.
Nothing's impossible to them that believe,
I am standing on the promises of God.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
If God said it, I believe it.
If God said it, I believe it.
If God said it, I believe it.
If God said it, I believe it;
I am standing on the promises of God.

[Vamp 1:]
God said it, I believe it,
That's good enough for me.

[Vamp 2:]
God said it, God said it.
God said it, God said it.

[Vamp 3:]
I believe it, I believe it.
I believe it, I believe it.

[Vamp 4:]
That settles it, that settles it.
That settles it, that settles it.

[Ending:]
God said it, I believe it,
That's good enough for me.
