“Standing on the Promises”
R. Kelso Carter (recorded by Alan Jackson)
2 Peter 1:4
Sing it. It quotes nothing and presents nothing as scripture, and its confidence is warranted. Bring the content with you, because 2 Peter 1:4 names both what the promises come from and what they were given to do.✓ Never says it is quoting. No chapter, verse, or translation is named, and nothing in the text is presented as scripture
⚠ The word “promises” is the hymn's spine and is never filled in. No covenant, no passage, and no particular word of God is named in any stanza
