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.

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.

Christ is indeed our solid rock. He has been faithful even when I have not. He loved me unconditionally and has been my rock in times where there was no hope because His word does not go and come back void until it has accomplished it purpose. What an awesome God we serve.

Truly all other ground is sinking sand. Some may trust in horses, some may trust in chariots, but we trust in the name of our God. Tears are on my eyes as I sing this song.

We just used this song in our youth meeting. In fact, the presence of the Holy Spirit was great. Thank God for the composer. Indeed all other ground aside JESUS is sinking sand.

Each and every letter is encouraging in time of brokenness. Good music too is adding the sweetness.

When I was battling a terrible condition of the heart way back in 2011 called "relaxation impairment" this song gave me a strong assurance when I felt like I had reached a dead end and all was like sinking sand. I played it like 10 times daily till I was delivered by the grace of the Lord. The Lord Jesus Christ healed me! Hallelujah!

This month my Loving mum has gone to be with the Lord, as I battle the loss of my mentor in all, this hymn becomes so reassuring, knowing that I am on firm foundation, Jesus Christ the Solid Rock. Although everything is sinking sand, I have faith in Him who stills the water.

Every other grounds like academic qualifications, human and foreign connections, family background, bank account balance, etc are all sinking sand. Jesus, and Him only is the solid rock to stand without fear of drowning or sinking. I believe!

Christ indeed is the only ROCK on which we can firmly stand. I sang this hymn in my dream and it has ever since become my favorite.
Could you please tell me the story behind it?

What a great reminder to me today, as I battle through life. My faith is strengthened and I'm able to forge ahead, knowing that Jesus is my SOLID foundation. Oh God, thank You for Jesus! Because of His obedience unto death and His grace that has enabled me to hear about Him and believe in Him, I have the Holy Spirit indwelling me. What an awesome presence! I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me! AMEN!!
