Security

In my life experiences, I've found that people search for security in a number of ways. Perhaps they place their security in money, in another person's affection, in their social standing, in the posssessions they have acquired, in their friendships, in their job, or in the gated community neighborhood where they live.

From my personal experience, I've found there is only one place in which to trust for true security. This song sums up what I've learned.

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

But wholly trust 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.

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.

Lyrics by Edward Mote, published 1836.
