My Hope Is Built…
Hope is a beautiful thing. Hope keeps us going, makes us sing and puts a smile on our face. In dark days, hope is the light that shines for a better tomorrow.
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.
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.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
– Mote, 1864
Have a beautiful, hope-filled day, my precious friends!

I LOVE this hymn, Myra! It’s one of my favorites. I wrote about it back in the spring–we sang it at church just a few weeks before Jack’s open-heart surgery, and it really meant a lot to me during those difficult days. (Here’s the post if you want to see it: http://www.impartinggrace.com/2011/04/hope-matters.html)
I hope you and your beautiful family have a wonderful weekend. Every blessing to you!
thank you. i needed that reminder this morning. the old hymns just have a way of telling it like it is without disguising the message. thank you for being open to God’s leading in ministry through words.

Hi Myra! What beautiful words. The graphics are gorgeous too.
I just wanted to thank you for picking my orange playroom to win last week over at The CSI Project! You totally made my day, and I was so surprised! Thanks for recognizing me. You have a beautiful blog here, and I’m so happy to be in touch 🙂 I’m gonna go connect with you on all the social media stuff now if I don’t already 🙂
Thank you for the reminder of hope!

Thank you so much for the reminder this morning about where my hope lies. I’ve been going through some medical issues for several months and sometimes that hope is not as easy to hang on to.
Have a God Filled Day
