My hope is not in temporal things
The gain from earthly treasure
The fleeting pleasures it may bring
Are one day gone forever

It can’t be found in men’s applause
Though for now it’s pleasing
The hollow empty praise it lauds
leaves the soul still needing

[Chorus]
My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus blood and righteousness
He alone is life to me
Christ my hope my glory

There is a hope that’s flowing free
Rushing like a river
From the cross of Calvary
To the soul surrendered

(Repeat Chorus)

[Bridge]
On Christ the solid rock I stand
all other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

(Repeat Chorus)

[Tag]
For He alone is life to me
Christ my hope my glory
