Danns.co.ukMy Hope Rests Firm
We sung this song at Church this morning. Sophie came down the aisle to this tune on our wedding day, so it brought back good memories, but today the words were a great comfort to me, so I thought I'd share them.
My hope rests firm on Jesus Christ,
He is my only plea.
Though all the world should point and scorn,
His ransom leaves me free;
His ransom leaves me free.
My hope sustains me as I strive
And strain towards the goal;
Though still I stumble into sin,
His death paid for it all;
His death paid for it all.
My hope provides me with a spur
To help me run this race:
I know my tears will turn to joy
The day I see his face;
The day I see his face.
My hope is to be with my Lord,
To know as I am known;
To serve Him gladly all my days
In praise before His throne;
In praise before His throne.

My hope rests frim
We will sing this song in our church for the first time. I was asked to enter the words into the computer so that they may be displayed during the worship service. I try to find the words on the internet so that I can copy and paste them into the computer. That is how I found your webpage with the words typed out. I have never heard the song before and can't read music. After reading your brief testemony, I can't wait to hear it this sunday. May the God of out Lord Jesus Christ continue to bless you and your family.
Thanks
Thank you very much; I'm glad it was helpful. The website I got the words from also has an audio clip, so if you'd like to hear the tune, you could have a look:
