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.
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.
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

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.
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

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.
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD
Second Peter 1:1 says, “Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have been allotted faith equally precious as ours in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. ” This precious faith is allotted to us in the righteousness of God. The Bible speaks of three kinds of righteousness: First, Christ Himself is righteousness, and Jesus Christ becomes our righteousness. When God places us in Christ, Christ becomes our righteousness ( 1 Cor. 1:30 ). Second, there is the righteousness of Jesus Christ Himself. This refers to His walk and deeds while He was on the earth. Romans 5:18 speaks of “one righteous act, ” which is the righteous act of Christ’s death on the cross. God does not reckon Jesus’ righteous act as our righteousness, but He makes Jesus Christ our righteousness; thus, the righteousness of Jesus qualifies Him to be our Savior. Third, there is the righteousness of God. This refers to all of God’s doings being reasonable, legal, and therefore righteous ( 1:17 ; 3:21-26 ). Romans 1:17 For the righteousness of God is revealed in it out of faith to faith, as it is written, “But the righteous shall have life and live by faith. ”
Romans 3:21-26 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been manifested, witness being borne to it by the Law and the Prophets; Even the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ to all those who believe, for there is no distinction; For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; Whom God set forth as a propitiation place through faith in His blood, for the demonstrating of His righteousness, in that in His forbearance God passed over the sins that had previously occurred, With a view to the demonstrating of His righteousness in the present time, so that He might be righteous and the One who justifies him who is of the faith of Jesus.

Which other rock can anyone stand on except the Rock of Jesus Christ that can never fail, every other rock is indeed a sinking one. Only the righteous can stand on the Rock of Jesus Christ. People run away from the Rock of Jesus Christ because of their sinful nature and they don’t want to be liberated from their sins. Thank you Jesus I am free through Your Blood that You shed on The Cross of Calvary.
