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.

Years ago while visiting my son, I rode with him as he went on a job. I shared what a friend had shared about the Feast of Trumpets being one of the final feast to be fulfilled by Christ. At that moment we heard on the radio a modern version of The Solid Rock written by Edward Mote in 1834, and the lyrics: “When He shall come with trumpet sound, oh May I in Him be found. ” I thought that was cool, and then the next day, which was Sunday, my son went to church early because he was in the choir. He later told me that the choir director had changed one of the songs on the list and gave everyone a printout, which he later gave to me. It was The Solid Rock.
This a very encouraging song.

This song really made me strong when I was still young at Usenge high school. When I was hopeless and in darkness, through the song I got encouraged and our good God did wonders in my life. Amen

Hallelujah
So precious is my Saviour,

So great is His finished work

This song wasn’t really my favorite at first but it’s grown on me. If you can gather people to sing it then bless you brothers and sisters but if not I suggest you sing it out loud first thing in the morning or when you feel your first gust of energy for the day! It’s a refreshing and thankful song to our Lord. That energy carries you through the day better than any cup of coffee, energy drink or ibuprofen pill can!
