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

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
