The Solid Rock

This song has been playing over and over again in my head this weekend every time I hear more of the tragedy that occurred in CT on Friday. My heart hurts for all those involved. Lord, help us.

THE SOLID ROCK

My hope is built on nothing less 
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness 
And 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 
And all other ground is sinking sand 

When darkness seems to hide His 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 
And 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 
And 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 

Faultless to stand before the throne 
Faultless to stand before the throne 

On Christ the solid rock I stand 
All other ground is sinking sand 
And all other ground is sinking sand

He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

Revelation 21:3-5

With Christmas next week I pray we all truly realize the undeserved gift of hope that was offered to us through Jesus. Thank you Lord for sending Jesus to the darkness of this world to rescue us. Thank you that He's coming back to make all things right.
