| Track 14: My Hope is Built |
| 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 (2x) . Verse 2: When darkness veils 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. Chorus: On Christ the Solid Rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand (2x) . Verse 4: When He shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in Him be found. Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne. Chorus: On Christ the Solid Rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand (2x) . |

| Notes The words are stunning, just beautiful...like a Nicene Creed from the Nineteenth Century. The melody is as memorable as any that you'll encounter in your lifetime. When I was beginning to listen to different drum sample possibilities for this song, I had inadvertently connected the drum machine to the Korg noise modulator device thingy...and the drums were distorted by the "Warpigs" mode, as you hear at the beginning of the song and during the bridge. It was one of those "happy accidents", as someone once told me they're called. As I was composing the keyboard solo for the bridge, the riff from "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" just kind of popped out and took over. |
