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.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
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.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
♪
His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop 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,
Clothed 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.

We build our house on you
We place our trust in you
Our hope is found in You alone
We build our house on you
When darkness takes our sight
And straining has made us blind
Our hope is found in You alone
When darkness takes our sight
When rulers rule by fear
Your rule of love will still be here
Our hope is found in You alone
When rulers rule by fear
And if justice doesn't come
In this life, under this sun
Our hope is found in You alone
If justice doesn't come
♪
But justice come, justice come
Roll on down the hills, come on
Roll on through the prairies deep
Roll on o'er the mountains steep
Roll on through the deepest seas
Justice come, justice come

We build our house on you
We place our trust in you
Our hope is found in You alone
We build our house on you
