Lenten Devotional - Sunday, March 21, 2021 "Little Easter"

Every Sunday in Lent is considered a “little Easter,” a time to celebrate the Lord’s resurrection and spend time praising God. So, in keeping with this, our Sunday devotionals will be traditional Easter hymns.  Take a moment to sing these with your family or by yourself.  If you like, listen to the song on your computer or phone.  But be sure to spend time rejoicing and praising God for our new life in Jesus Christ.

 

The Solid Rock

By Edward Mote, 1834

Scripture: Matthew 7:24-27

 

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.

o   Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

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.

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.

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.
