Sovereign Grace Music's rendition of 'My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less' is a classic hymn that expresses unwavering trust in Jesus Christ as the foundation of faith. The lyrics contrast the security of Christ's righteousness with the instability of all other grounds, using imagery of a solid rock and an anchor. The song acknowledges times of darkness and trial but rests on God's unchanging grace and covenant promises. It also looks forward to Christ's return, when believers will stand faultless before God's throne, clothed in His righteousness. The hymn emphasizes themes of faith, hope, and salvation.

VERSE 1
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

CHORUS
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

VERSE 2
When darkness hides His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil

VERSE 3
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

VERSE 4
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
