Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
[25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Spiritual Rock builders hear the Word of God, the Gospel, and make it the foundation for their lives, proving they love the Lord.
They sacrifice, they work, they do anything to honor the Lord.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
The Solid Rock
______________________
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.
CHORUS:
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 — Support me in the whelming flood; — When all around my soul gives way, — He then is all my hope and stay.
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.
Edward Mote 1834
