Monday Meditation: My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less

"And they all drank the same spiritual drink.
For they drank from a spiritual Rock which followed them,
produced by the sole power of God Himself without natural
instrumentality, and the Rock was Christ."
(1 Corinthians 10:4)

"The Lord Is My Rock"

(2016)

Andrea Kirk

American artist

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus' blood and righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

But wholly trust in Jesus' name.

On Christ the solid rock I stand,

All other ground is sinking sand;

All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness seems to hide His face,

I rest on His unchanging grace.

In every high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil.

On Christ the solid rock I stand,

All other ground is sinking sand;

All other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, His covenant, His blood,

Support me in the whelming flood

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

On Christ the solid rock I stand,

All other ground is sinking sand;

All other ground is sinking sand.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh may I then in Him be found.

Dressed in His righteousness alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne.

On Christ the solid rock I stand,

All other ground is sinking sand;

All other ground is sinking sand.
