SITTING ON THE PREMISES
Words by
Glenda H. Davis, MD
(Take-off
on "Standing on the Promises," by R. Kelson Carter, 1886)
Sitting on the premises, I
cannot stand
For anyone to hug my neck or
shake my hand;
That makes me uncomf'table,
so I just plan to
Sit here on the premises
alone.
Sitting, sitting,
Trying harder every day
to be a Christian;
Sitting, sitting,
I'm sitting on the
premises alone.
Sitting on the premises, I know full well
That everyone around me here can surely tell
That I am not a hypocrite who’s bound for hell!
Sitting on the premises alone.
Sitting, sitting,
Trying harder every day
to be a Christian;
Sitting, sitting,
I'm sitting on the
premises alone.
Sitting on the premises, I know full well
That everyone around me here can surely tell
That I am not a hypocrite who’s bound for hell!
Sitting on the premises alone.
Sitting, sitting,
Trying harder every day
to be a Christian;
Sitting, sitting,
I'm sitting on the
premises alone.
The preacher says that no one
here can save himself;
All must trust in Jesus
Christ, and no one else!
Even when he looks at me, I'm
still compelled to
Sit here on the premises
alone.
[music tempo changes...]
Then I feel God's Spirit
speaking to my soul--
"Child, just trust in Me and
I will make you whole,
Cleanse you from your sin so
that you can behold Me,
Sitting at the right hand of
God!"
Jesus? Jesus? --There's
no other name by which I must be saved!
Jesus, Jesus, I'm
standing on Your promises alone!
Oh, the freedom I now have
within my heart!
Jesus Christ has given me a
brand new start,
And put His Holy Spirit in me
to impart
The wonders of the promises
of God!
Standing, standing,
Standing on the
promises of Christ my Savior!
Standing, standing,
I'm standing on the
promises of God!

Acts 4:10 Be
it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified,
whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand
here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was set at
nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved.
Romans 8:34
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea
rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of
God, who also maketh intercession for us.
2 Peter 1:2
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of
God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine
power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to
glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding
great and precious promises: that by these ye might be
partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption
that is in the world through lust.
