Before waking, remembered hearing the melody and words: "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."
Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria
My younger brother has been posting discouraging statement on his whatsapp status, I needed words to encourage him, when I opened my web page, this was the song displayed.... I just knew this was the rain right hymn for him.
Kingman, Arizona, United States
2:30 AM can’t sleep started thinking about Christ the solid rock this song came to me, I didn’t know all the words to it so I looked it up it was one of the first songs I sang as a Christian and there’s so much hope and strength and encouragement built into this song to truly express the Living Rock Jesus Christ, To Him be all Glory and Praise.
Eket, Akwa Ibom, Nigeria
I was really down this morning. I needed to sing the complete hymn, I only know the 1st verse by heart. Is soul lifting always
North York, Ontario, Canada
Just up was thinking about somethings and find myself singing this song and just have to find the full words to it. About 1. 30am
OH, United States
Marcia willis, me too! I am up at 1:00 but around 12:30 I was waiting for my car to warm up and this part popped in my head
"When He shall come, with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then, in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless stand before the throne."
I got in my car and this song was playing.
Huntington Beach, CA, United States
Awake at 1:30 am. Jesus sent me this hymn. Thank you Lord.
We often don't realize just how much God through Jesus Christ has given us. He literally gives us His righteousness to stand blameless before God the Father.
Fort St John, British Columbia, Canada
Last night I awakened and began to think and worry about all kinds of things. Gradually I became aware of the words of this song repeating in my mind. I let the two verses I remembered play over until I fell asleep. I came to this site to find the remaining words to post on Facebook this morning to encourage others. Thank you Jesus for being The Solid Rock and thank you for being there for me!
Oak Harbor, Washington, United States
The breadth of previous comments, the vast numbers of countries of residence, and the consistent mention of being "woken" to this song playing in their heart/mind tells me, again, of the love our Father has for us and that the Holy Spirit is alive and active in this world of turmoil!! Thank you, Jesus.
