Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your love stays the same
Your light will guide me through it all
I'm hangin' on, I'm leanin' in to You
Nothin' can reach the end of all Your faithfulness
Your grace is with me
Through every shadow, every test
I don't know where You'll take me
But I know You're always good
My hope is built on nothin' else
Than Your great love, Your righteousness
I will not walk another way
I trust Your heart, I trust Your name
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on to You
You are my rock when storms are ragin' all along
You shelter me, God
I'm safe with you on solid ground
I'm hangin' on, I'm leanin' in to You
I don't know where You'll take me
But I know You're always good
My hope is built on nothin' else
Than Your great love, Your righteousness
I will not walk another way
I trust Your heart, I trust Your name
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on to You
My hope is built on nothin' else
Than Your great love, Your righteousness
I will not walk another way
I trust Your heart, I trust Your name
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, to You
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on to You
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on to You
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on to You
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on to You
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on to You
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on to You
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on to You
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on to You
I'm holdin' on to You
(Holdin' on to You)
My hope is built on nothin' else
Than Your great love, Your righteousness
I will not walk another way
I trust Your heart, I trust Your name
The song "My Hope" by Paul Baloche is a powerful declaration of faith in God's unchanging faithfulness and love. The opening lines of the song acknowledge the fact that our own plans and efforts can often lead us astray, but God's love remains constant and is a guiding light that will help us through any difficulty. As the chorus repeats, "My hope is built on nothing else than Your great love, Your righteousness," the singer is affirming their trust solely in God and His goodness.
The second verse takes this idea further, emphasizing that nothing can ever exhaust or diminish God's faithfulness and grace. Even in times of darkness and testing, He will not abandon us. The bridge of the song expresses the singer's acknowledgement that they do not know what the future holds, but their faith is not based on their circumstances, but rather on God's character. They choose to trust Him and His heart above all else.
The repetition of the phrase "I'm holdin' on to You" throughout the song underscores the idea that the singer is clinging tightly to God and relying on Him completely. The song is a reminder to listeners that, no matter what comes their way, they can trust in God's love and righteousness to sustain them.

I love this song! Most of all I love the anointing in his music and voice! Many christian singers today are into vocal aerobics without any real depth in their music! This song is a welcome change in the christian music industry! Keep singing for Jesus Paul!
