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

This famous hymn let's me know that no matter the problem, situation, trial or circumstance; that we can trust, rely and rest on God's faithfulness and purpose for our lives. "He is the solid rock". Jeremiah 29:11

The lyrics really ministered to me and I found deeper meaning than I had ever pictured. This is very relevant at this period of my facing some academic opposition. The second and third stanzas have really stood out and comforted my soul. Bless the Lord O my soul.

This song teaches that any foundation outside Christ is faulty. Jesus, I depend on You.
