My hope is built on nothing less

1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my 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;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

When I'm down, I go to the scriptures.

And as I confess the words , I feel a new life breathed into me .

A power to overcome every adversary.

Indeed my hope is built on nothing else. But JESUS CHRIST my Righteousness.

Today I beg people for money to feed.

But I know that one day my story will change 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi Lisa! In answer to your question about the "sweetest frame" we understand that as referring to the human frame, ie: "dare not trust" even our closest friends or most loved ones. "Whom have I in heaven but Thee, and there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee."

My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ, my righteousness.

Thank you for finding me out, thank you Jesus for giving me another chance.

I blew the great opportunity you once gave to me, yet you came to seek and to save the lost like me, you gave me another chance. I'm grateful Jesus.

Great Hymn, it calls us to trust in the Lord, our salvation, our solid Rock.

I was asked by someone, if you die today what would you do if God ask you why should I allow you in heaven.

My reply was, my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ my righteousness.

He said that is the best answer I’ve ever gotten.

Many people do not realize how much good Bible doctrines are in some of the hymns of the faith.
