My Hope!

Hope is such a beautiful word, but it has become a buzz word in our culture. What do you hope in friends? I decided to share the words of one of my favorite hymns, one which was sung at our wedding. It reminds me where hope is truly found. May your hope for the future, for eternity really, be built on nothing less...

On Christ the Sold Rock I Stand

1. My hope is built on nothing less
   Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
   I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
   But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
   
   • On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
     All other ground is sinking sand,
     All other ground is sinking sand.
2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
   I rest on His unchanging grace;
   In every high and stormy gale,
   My anchor holds within the veil.
3. 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.
4. 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.
