Sometimes things that are very familiar can become amazingly
wonderful
We are often have a diluted view of the ordinary that is all
around us.
This Sunday at my church we sang an ‘old’ hymn, one I recall
singing many, many time before, but as I feasted on the words and let the song
infiltrate my soul, this old familiar hymn had new depth and meaning.
The words of the verse, flooded over me in a torrent of
overwhelming joy as I savored all that Christ accomplished for me at the cross
and through the free grace of the New Covenant.
“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”
Christ in me, Christ working through me is the solid rock I
stand on.
Christ + nothing = everything.
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.
When darkness seems to hide His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
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.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand
