Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria
The hymn is such an inspirational song full of emotion each time I sing I cry unknowingly and ask myself where will I be found when Christ shall come God help me to build my hope on you alone
Maseru, Lesotho
It dosn't matter how often I sing the hymn, or hear it sung, the words bring me to my knees in worship and full surrender to the Authority of God. Such a beautiful story of salvation, and a wake up call that says, I am nothing without His Grace!! Indeed, All other groung is sinking sand.
very powerful
Lusaka, Zambia
Absolutely nothing makes sense around me. Christ is my only hope and stay. On his solid rock I stand because indeed, all other ground is sinking sand🙏🏽.
Blessed be the name of the Lord🙏🏽🙏🏽
Ijebu Ode, Ogun, Nigeria
I receive the grace to stand firmly on Christ the solid ground in Jesus name.
Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria
For me, this hymn is highly inspirational. So wonderful!
Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever.
Lagos, Lagos State, Nigeria
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!
Ladysmith, BC, Canada
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.
Sunyani, Ghana
I've been singing this song through out the dawn, Lord 🙏 you are the solid rock that we stand on .
