Hillsong UNITED – Sure Thing

Renowned international, multi award-winning gospel musical team, Hillsong United dishes out their brand new and powerful melody tagged Sure Thing.

The Musical team shares the story behind the song; “’Sure Thing’ is a prayerful declaration that reminds us of the truth based in God’s word and that we live in a world where everything that can be shaken will be shaken,” says UNITED member Jonathon “JD” Douglass. “But God’s word and purpose for our lives are good and will remain. It’s a song that we can sing with boldness and trust in the fact that, whatever is going on around us, we can have confidence that God is still in control. We can trust that Jesus is stronger than any challenge or circumstance we may face. ‘Sure Thing’ is about making the decision to not do this journey of life on our own–so that we don’t get caught up in the sinking sand in life that can leave us confused, disoriented and full of fear. Instead, we can build our lives on the solid rock that is Jesus and His word. On that rock, we can look to the future with the knowledge that He is working all things together for good. Our prayer is that this song will give you confidence and faith in Jesus, for He is our sure thing.”

Hillsong UNITED Sure Thing Lyrics

[Intro]
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my 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

[Verse 1]
Lead me to the Rock
‘Cause I need something higher
Higher than the world could understand
Foolish as the Cross
Humble as the price You paid
The wisdom of a Kingdom made to last

[Chorus]
‘Cause I don’t wanna build this life
On Babylons of bricks and pride
Sitting on a fault line bound to quake
I’d rather be a bedrock fool
Who trusts in nothing less than You
When every other sure thing surely fails

[Verse 2]
Lead me to the Rock
Lift me from this sinking sand
I’m sorry for the junk I took for grace
Don’t let it take a fall
To bring me to my knees again
But if it’s what I need
I’ll take my place

[Chorus]
‘Cause I don’t wanna build this house
With rubble from the same old ground
Sitting on a fault line bound to quake
I’m banking on a Roman frame
The bedrock of an empty grave
When every other sure thing surely fails

[Bridge]
Lord, through it all
Through the wind and the storm
On this Rock I’ll stand
Empires may fold
Pillars fail, people fall
But Your Word still stands
Age after age
Till the earth fades away
Still Your Kingdom stands
Name above names
Jesus, I need Your grace
‘Cause the world’s gone mad
(All other ground is sinking sand)
(All other ground is sinking sand)

[Outro]
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
On every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
