Wow! Can you believe I'm back already with another Hymn and Scripture page? I bet you haven't even seen the last one yet! With this page I am FINALLY all caught up on this challenge! :o)
This is another beautiful hymn that is one of my very favorites! It is an incredible thing to hear hundreds of voices of believers lifted together in this song...especially when they hit the chorus! You can FEEL the HOPE and the JOY!
The first verse, the chorus, and the third verse go like this:
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.
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.
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.
The Scripture verse I chose is found in Romans 15:4. It says:
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,
so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scripture we might have hope.
If you find yourself feeling discouraged or disheartened by life, get out a Bible and read it. You will find encouragement and receive HOPE!! :o)
Several factors played into the design of this page. First of all is the hymn itself and the message of HOPE. Secondly, is the fact that October is breast cancer awareness month, and we have all heard the exciting announcement that Jennifer has been declared cancer free. She has been an amazing example of someone living in hope. Then finally, was this sweet Jellypark image that I wanted to add to my page, called "Girl hugging heart." I added the word HOPE to the heart. Then I remembered that Jellypark has a Pinktober challenge going on. That is what inspired my color choice for my page.
I hope you all have a weekend of JOY...and HOPE! :o)
