40 Days of Hope - Day 9

“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” (Robert Critichley, My Hope Is Built)

What is your hope based on? What sweet frame are you leaning on that isn’t Jesus’ name?

Prayer Focus

ADORE God for his perfect faithfulness
CONFESS the things you lean on other than the name of Jesus
THANK God for giving us Jesus’ righteousness
SUPPLICATE (Beg) God to strip away your trust in things that aren’t Jesus’ name
SILENTLY reflect on the words to this beautiful hymn.

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

His oath, his covenant, his blood
Supports 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
