Firm Foundation
Aaron Shust's song 'Firm Foundation' is a modern worship piece that draws on the imagery of a solid rock to express trust in Jesus Christ amid life's trials. The lyrics speak of finding stability and truth in God when everything else fails, and emphasize God's grace as a sufficient supply during fiery trials. The repeated refrain 'Fear not, He is with us' echoes biblical assurances of God's presence. The song offers comfort and confidence, portraying Jesus as a refuge and source of peace. It connects naturally to Scripture passages like Matthew 7:24-27 and Isaiah 43:2.
Oh I have found a rock where I can stand
When every other ground is sinking sand
Oh I have found the truth that breaks the dark
And love that mends a broken shattered heart
Oh how firm a foundation
What a comfort and peace
I am found in the arms of
Jesus Christ my King
Thought fiery trials in my pathway lie
His all sufficient grace is my supply
And though sorrow and trouble 'round me rage
He will be my refuge in the flame
Oh how firm a foundation
What comfort and peace
I am found in the arms of
Jesus
Oh how firm a foundation
What confidence He brings
I am found in the arms of
Jesus Christ my King
Fear not He is with us
Oh be not dismayed
Fear not He is with us
Oh be not dismayed
Oh how firm a foundation
What comfort and peace
I am found in the arms of
Jesus
Oh how firm a foundation
What confidence He brings
I am found in the arms of
Jesus Christ my King
