These Songs of Praise
Reinforce Our Devotion to
God Almighty!
Praise His Holy Names!
Enugwu-Ukwu, Anambra, Nigeria
I am always encouraged by this hymn, MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS THAN JESUS CHRIST. Each time I remember the situation of things in the world especially this pandemic era, it says "when darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on his unchanging grace..."
I appreciate the author for the inspiration!
New Castle, IN, United States
Today as I was reading about Papa Gods love in 1John 3:1-3 "that we shall be like Him when He is revealed and everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself just as He is pure" I started hearing this song about my hope resting on nothing else - The Rock on which I stand.
Brooklyn, New York, United States
This song for me speak of my hope in Christ Jesus the solid Rock, in this time where everything looks shaky and helpless , this song give that assurance that every believer in Christ the hope Glory should have , it encourage my heart to remain on This Rock , for when the storm is pass we will be faultless before to stand before our God. I love this song.

Calabar, Cross River, Nigeria
I was praying for increased hope in Christ and the grace to face all the sufferings and pains of this life, and this song MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS THAN JESUS CHRIST... was of great help. Let us do good and hope in Christ for the resurrection of the body when the time comes
Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
Amen, Amen to our solid Rock! - What a solid Rock have we.... Nothing can seperate us from our Wonderful and Precious Lord Jesus - even if we are not so faithful, He remains faithful! He then is ALL my hope & stay.
In HIM, my righteousness, alone, Faultless to stand before the throne.
Kaduna, Nigeria
There's no better reminder than a song to fill our hearts as we Christ
Alexandria, Virginia, United States
Today is Easter. It seems strange that we will worship isolated in our homes. But, than again, maybe that is an appropriate picture of what sin does--it isolates us--separating us from the God who made us. So many thoughts in my head; some disturbing, some somber, none really on the spectrum of happiness or joy......... it's interesting though--my mind can hear tunes of songs sung many years ago in church. I could hear this in the recesses of my mind. I'm so thankful that when I googled it, I came to this site. He is RISEN--and I know that many around the world would respond with- He is RISEN, indeed.
