How close to you I come 'til I find my final tear,
So many things I wanted to tell you, but my mind got in the way.

When out of my body, I'm with you, Lord,
But torn from others, I'm here.

I'm standing on your promises,
I'm standing on your promises,
If I stand alone, I stand with you.

Sometimes it's hard to believe how a cold white page can have so much warmth to me,
In a happy man or an angry boy, the same word breaks the heart of both.

Your word's like a blanket that keeps me warm,
Guiding and changing to show me what to do.

I'm standing on your promises,
I'm standing on your promises,
If I stand alone, I stand with you.

Standing on your promises,
Standing on your promises,
I'm standing on your promises,
I'm standing on your promises,
If I stand alone, I stand with you.
