7 Worship Songs About God’s Promises (Standing On His Word)

The promises of God are the currency of faith. We don’t just believe in a vague concept of God; we believe in specific things He has said. 2 Corinthians 1:20 declares, “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ.”

When we sing about God’s promises, we are doing more than singing catchy melodies; we are standing on the legal documents of the Kingdom. These songs help the church take their eyes off the instability of the world and fix them on the reliability of God’s Word. They are anthems of assurance.

Why These Songs Build Confidence

We selected these songs because:

  • They are specific. They often reference specific biblical covenants and promises (provision, presence, future).
  • They are historic. They remind us that God has a perfect track record of keeping His word.
  • They are activating. They move us from passive hearing to active believing.

7 Songs To Stand On

  1. Take You At Your Word – This is the ultimate anthem for standing on promises. It captures the childlike faith of simply believing what God said. With the lyric “If You said it, I believe it,” it cuts through doubt and invites the church to trust completely.
  2. Way Maker – “Promise Keeper.” This title is central to the song’s message. It reminds the congregation that God’s nature binds Him to His word. He keeps His promises not because He has to, but because it is who He is.
  3. Good Plans – Based on the famous promise of Jeremiah 29:11, this song assures us that God’s intentions for us are not for harm, but for a future and a hope. It is a powerful antidote to anxiety about the unknown.
  4. Firm Foundation (He Won’t) – Building your house on the Rock means building your life on the Word of Christ (Matthew 7). This song declares that because our foundation is His promise, we will not fail when the rain comes down.
  5. Same God – “You answer prayers back then, and You will answer now.” This song links the promises kept in the lives of Jacob, Moses, and Mary to our present situation. It builds faith by looking at God’s resume.
  6. Trust In God – “I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered.” This song is a testimony of promises fulfilled. It encourages the church to trust God for the future because He has been faithful in the past.
  7. Great Is Thy Faithfulness – “All I have needed Thy hand hath provided.” This hymn is a comprehensive celebration of God’s covenant loyalty. It reminds us that His mercies are new every morning, just as He promised.

Example Setlists For Faith

Setlist 1 (If You Said It)

  1. Take You At Your Word – Opens with a high-energy decision to believe.
  2. Way Maker – Focuses on God as the Promise Keeper.
  3. Firm Foundation (He Won’t) – Anchors the set in stability.

Setlist 2 (He Is Faithful)

  1. Trust In God – A bold declaration of where our confidence lies.
  2. Same God – Recounts the history of God’s faithfulness.
  3. Good Plans – Ends with a personal promise for the future.

How To Use These Songs In Your Church

  • Read the promise. Before singing Good Plans, read Jeremiah 29:11. Before Firm Foundation, read Matthew 7. Connect the lyrics to the Bible so people know the source of their hope.
  • Invite the skeptics. Acknowledge that some people are waiting on promises that haven’t happened yet. Introduce Way Maker as a song for the “middle” of the story, where faith is tested.
  • Bridge the gap. Use Same God to transition from a sermon about a biblical character to a time of ministry, reminding the church that the God of that character is in the room.
