I read the testimony of Norman William who was in an airplane that was in a collision on Tenerife airport some years ago. He survived by claiming the promises of God and through the prayers of his mother. I wrote a poem in response to the testimony and that has become this song.

v1 God's word is full of promises
every one is true.
No matter what we're facing,
there's one there we could use,
to preserve our strength in trial,
if only we knew.

Chorus Resting on God's promises
only works if we know them.
We need to hear all he said
Before we say amen.
There's no cause to be concerned,
everything's confirmed,
if resting on God's word.

v2 God's word is full of promises
all we need is faith.
As long as we have read them
we can appropriate, the
deliverance God has for us
no matter what we face.
