My Hope is Built

I love the Hymn, "My Hope is Built". I am So glad that my help is from above. With the storms that we face in our personal lives, at our jobs,  our country and everywhere in between, it's good to stand on a solid foundation and know that he is the rock, the anchor and he will protect you in all things.

So many times we put our hope and our trust in people on this earth. While it's good to trust and have friendships, those people will let you down. They are human.  Humans make mistakes, they mess up, they do things out of spite. People may betray you, talk about you, hurt you physically or emotionally or leave you, but the Lord, he will never leave or forsake you. He is the one and only one that can be completely trusted.  He is perfect and good. On Christ is where my hope lies, where I will stand and in whom I trust with all my heart.

My Hope is Built

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
