Step Out on the Promise (Cox)

Step out on the pro­mise of Je­sus to­day

He’s ten­der­ly call­ing for you;

Go work in His vine­yard

great wag­es He’ll pay

O trust the great Friend who is true.

Step out on the pro­mise of God

my bro­ther

Step out where the blood can heal;

O car­ry your bur­den of sin no fur­ther

But un­to the Sav­ior yield.

Step out on the pro­mise of Je­sus

my friend

The world can not give you re­lease;

Step out from sin’s dark­ness in­to the great light

And Je­sus will give you sweet peace.

Step out on the pro­mise of Je­sus

just now

He says He will par­don to­day;

Come hum­bly be­liev­ing

re­pent

Him con­fess

And ev­ery com­mand­ment ob­ey.
