I've loved the words to Edward Mote's hymn the Solid Rock for years. One night while jamming on my piano and marinating in the presence of God, I began to sing those words to some new music. The result is what you find here. Let me know what you think!

Lyrics by Edward Mote (1834)
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.
On Christ, the Solid Rock, I stand;
all other ground is sinking sand,
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale,
my Anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the Solid Rock, I stand;
all other ground is sinking sand,
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.
On Christ, the Solid Rock, I stand;
all other ground is sinking sand,
Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock of ages.
Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock of ages.
Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock of ages.
Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock of ages.
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,
