1. My life was steeped in sin,
    There was fear and doubt within,
    Till I stepped out on the promises of God,
    I groped as in the night,
    For my heart was blind to light,
    Till I stepped out upon the promises of God.

                 CHORUS

    When I stepped out on the promises of God,
    When I stepped out on the promises of God,
    I left my sin, and fear and doubt,
    When I stepped out on the promises of God.

2. I knew not God’s great plan,
    Hid in Christ for mortal man,
    Till I stepped out on the promises of God,
    I thought the Lord could bless,
    My dead works of righteousness,
    Till I stepped out upon the promises of God.

3. I had no hope beyond,
    When in sickness, in despond,
    Till I stepped out on the promises of God,
    His ancient touch now heals,
    And His wonders He reveals,
    Till I stepped out upon the promises of God.

4. There is a glory rest,
    You will find it and be blessed,
    When you step out on the promises of God,
    Down at the Saviour’s feet,
    Look to Him for joy complete,
    When you step out upon the promises of God.
