Shane & Shane's rendition of the classic hymn 'My Hope Is Built' centers on the unchanging foundation of faith in Jesus Christ. The lyrics emphasize that true security rests not in human efforts or circumstances but solely in Christ's sacrifice and righteousness. Even when darkness or storms obscure God's presence, the believer finds stability in His grace and covenant. The song looks forward to Christ's return, expressing confidence that through His righteousness alone, believers will stand faultless before God's throne. It is a timeless declaration of trust, anchoring hope in the solid rock of Christ rather than the shifting sands of the world.

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean in Jesus' Name
When darkness seems
To hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
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
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
I stand on the Rock Of Ages
