I have been wanting to start a meme now for a couple of weeks. I do not have an icon yet, but am in the process of making one - or having one made (So many talented young men and ladies here at hsb).

The meme is Saturday Psalm & Praise.

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand; 

All other ground is sinking sand, 

All other ground is sinking sand.

1. Write a post on your blog about a favorite Psalm, Hymn or Worship Chorus or one that has spoken to you in the past week.  The only qualification is that whatever you choose has to be in praise of God. In other words, I would like to see Psalms and songs that are not all about me, the worshiper. I have heard too many songs in recent years sung about me, my problems, my worship, etc. I want this to be directed to God and His Son, Jesus. That is who we are to worship, and I think we need to make sure our hearts are set in that direction, not just all about how I want to do this or how I am this because of that.

Truly, we all have to work it out for ourselves, and you need to make it yours. Just bring it to God for His glory. I want this to be an offering to Him.

2. You may just blog the Psalm/song or you can tell what impact is has had on you and your thoughts. Sometimes just the Psalm is enough. Sometimes we have to let out our own words of praise!

3. Link your post to this week's original SP&P.

4. Oh, and make sure you sign your name to Mr. Linky and link your actual post. Leave a comment if you like.

5. If you would like to use a Mr. Linky on your post, please feel free to do so! I have made it an open meme.

THE SOLID ROCK

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, 

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 vale.

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

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,

All other ground is sinking sand.

When He shall come with trumpet sound, oh, may I then in Him be found; 

Dressed in His rightouness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand; 

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

Edward Mote, 1797-1874      William B. Bradbury 1816-1868

This is just one of the hymns/ choruses we sat around singing Thursday night with our children. What a beautiful, sweet sound to hear the love and worship sung by precious children in chorus. It blessed me.

blessings! -Jacque
