My hope is not in temporal things
The gain from earthly treasure
The fleeting pleasures it may bring
Are one day gone forever
It can't be found in man's applause
Though for now, it's pleasing
The hollow, empty praise it lost
Leaves a soul still needing
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
He alone is life to me, Christ my Hope, My Glory
There is a hope flowing free
Rushing like a river
From the cross of Calvary
To the soul surrendered
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
He alone is life to me, Christ my hope, my glory
On Christ, the silent rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
He alone is life to me, Christ my hope, my glory
For he alone is life to me, Christ my hope, my glory
