No excuses – no apologies!
No government can endure, no human can remain faithful, no system of laws or obligations can hold against the sway of human corruption. People fail us, systems fail us, laws fail us, church, synagogue, or mosque will fail us … the person of Jesus never, never fails.
1. My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Refrain:
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.
2. When Darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest on his unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil.
Refrain:
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.
3. His oath, his covenant, his blood
supports me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay.
Refrain:
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.
4. When he shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found!
Dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne!
Refrain:
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.
Yes, there is a real hope, but it will cost us. It will cost us some of our comfort. It may cost us some leisure time. We may have to come face to face with … personal sacrifice. We will have to resume ownership of our own personal lives, our needs and wants. We will have to choose between slavery and freedom. We will have to choose between responsibility and dependency. What is REAL FREEDOM worth to you?
“Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8: 31-32
