Lyrics

My (E)hope is built on (Bsus)noth ing less than (A)Je sus’ blood and (Bsus)right eous ness.

I dare not trust the (Bsus)sweet est frame, but (A)whol ly lean on (Bsus)Je sus’ name.

On Christ, the sol id (A)Rock, I stand.

All (E)oth er ground is (Bsus)sink ing sand, all (E)oth er ground is (Bsus)sink ing sand.

When (E)dark ness seems to (Bsus)hide His face, I (A)rest on His un (Bsus)chang ing grace.

In ev ’ry high and (Bsus)storm y gale, my (A)an chor holds with (Bsus)in the veil.

On Christ, the sol id (A)Rock, I stand.

All (E)oth er ground is (Bsus)sink ing sand, all (E)oth er ground is (Bsus)sink ing sand.

His

When (E5)He shall come with trum pet sound, O may I then in Him be found dressed in His right eous (Bsus)ness a lone, fault (A)less to stand be (Bsus)fore the throne, fault (A)less to stand be (Bsus)fore the throne, fault (A)less to stand be (E5)fore the throne.

(Asus2)You are our Rock.

(Asus2)You are our Rock.

(Asus2)You are our Rock.

(Asus2)You are our Rock.

(Asus2)You are our Rock.

(Asus2)You are our Rock.

(Asus2)On (E5)Christ, the sol id Rock, I stand.

All oth er ground is sink ing sand, all oth er ground is sink ing sand.
