the foundation of our hope...

The lyrics of this hymn has been on my mind recently and I would like to share it with all of you, especially to those of you who may feel that your world is caving in.

My Hope Is Built

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.

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

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

thanks for praying...

I went for a surgical procedure for my heart condition last Monday and returned home over the weekend. Thanks for those of you who knew and prayed for me! I'm recovering well at home. Do hope that God-willing, this be the final time I have to go for surgery. Please continue to pray for my parents as both the case and my health have added much stress on them. Despite what's happening, may they still see the grace and glory of God upon my life.

come what may...

Whatever comes and whatever befalls us in life, we have to learn to accept them, as from and for the good Lord. Some things are easy and gladsome to receive but some we would hesitate or loathe to accept, but we need to trust in the goodwill of the Giver. We're no fools to surrender all to the will of God for He is faithful and just, and He will look after His own, in His own way.
