On Christ the Solid Rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sand! on Christ the Solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand all other ground is sinking sand! No guilt in life, no fear in death this is the power of Christ in me From life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand Till He returns or calls me home here in the power of Christ, I'll stand! Here in the power of Christ, I'll stand! here in the power of Christ, I'll stand! Benediction: • Sunday Prayer: Sundays @ 9:30 AM in the Sunshine Room and via Zoom. Mtg.
