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.

This is a grace song through and through! If you sing it and still feel condemned, sing it meditatively until you realize who Christ has made you as a believer! It’s such a blessing!

This old hymn came to mind today. Reading 1 Pater 1:3 when we look at the state of this world we are reminded that we have a living hope in the resurrection of Christ Jesus. Wow what an awesome God we serve. Praise your name Jesus. On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground truly is sinking sand.

A remarkable story of grace and redemption is that of Edward Mote, who lived in England in the 1800s. Owners of a pub in London, his parents frequently left him to his own devices on the streets of the city. Edward later reflected, “I grew up knowing nothing at all about God. ” In his teens, he was trained as a cabinetmaker, a profession he pursued well into his 50s. In addition to teaching Mote his trade, his master-teacher also led him to the Lord. After that he became a Baptist preacher. At one point, his congregation wanted to thank and bless him… and they offered him the ownership of the church building. “I do not want the building, ” he replied. “I only want the pulpit. And if I ever cease preaching Christ, then you need to drive me out of it! ” Continuing to preach every Sunday until shortly before he passed away in his 70s, Mote also wrote hymns, at one point publishing a book with nearly 100 of his hymns . Recognizing his own rescue from an empty and unstable life, he composed the well-known and well loved hymn, “My Hope is Built on Nothing Less. ”

With all the "fake news," mis/disinformation, & lies of Satan abounding in our world, I love to go to,

"ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND, ALL OTHER GROUND IS SINKING SAND."

His Word is the ONLY reliable Truth we can count on...

"I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE..."
