Waiting for home

How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord,

Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word! 

George Keith, "How Firm a Foundation"

Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to...fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God...  Instruct them...to be rich in good works...storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.  

1 Timothy 6:17-19

 Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone,

A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed.

He who believes in it will not be disturbed.

I will make justice the measuring line

And righteousness the level. 

Isaiah 28:16-17

And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the wind blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 

Matthew 7:25

 The rock was Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:4

"By faith Abraham...was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God."   

Hebrews 11:8, 10

Christ is made the sure foundation,

Christ the head and corner stone.  

"Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation," Trans. John Mason Neale

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus' blood and righteousness...

On Christ the solid Rock I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand.   

Edward Mote, "The Solid Rock"

 The Church's one foundation

Is Jesus Christ her Lord.    

Samuel John Stone, "The Church's One Foundation" 

 In Christ alone my hope is found,

He is my light, my strength, my song;

This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, "In Christ Alone"

He is...the chief corner stone.

Acts 4:11

 The firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, 'The Lord knows those who are His.'  

2 Timothy 2:19

 May our homes be filled with dancing;

May our streets be filled with joy.   

Reuben Morgan, "Hear Our Praises"

When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!  

Stuart K. Hine, "How Great Thou Art"
