Chorus / Description : The song The Solid Rock by Avalon is based on the biblical foundation of placing our hope and trust in Jesus Christ alone. It references Matthew 7:24-27 and highlights the importance of relying on His righteousness and grace amidst life's challenges, knowing that all other ground is sinking sand.
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
(I'm leanin' on Jesus)
(I'm leanin' on Jesus, Jesus)
(I'm leanin' on You)
When darkness fails, His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
(Every high and stormy gale)
In every high and stormy gale
(My anchor holds within the veil)
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
(All other ground is sinking, sinking)
(All other ground is sinking, 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
A sign of love
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
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
No other, I'm leanin' on Jesus
All other ground is sinking sand
Hold me in, I'm leanin' on Jesus
All other ground is sinking sand
'Cause on a rock, I stand
