HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 151 | 'SOLID ROCK' FLUTE AND VOICE BY @onos-f

The theological virtues; faith hope and love which we have as the theme for this week's hive open mic, is so called because they are supernatural gifts which are given by only God. In other words, they hail directly from God and are given freely to man hence, they are known as theological virtues. Faith enables one to believe in God without doubting his powers, ordinances, mighty works and promises. Hope enables us to firmly trust that God will grant us eternal life and all the means necessary to attain it. The gift of charity which is love, enables us to cherish and love God above all things and our neighbours as ourself for God's sake. The three gifts are so connected that they cannot be separated because one leads to the other. Faith brings about hope and love, love brings about hope and faith and hope is a product of faith and it enables love. It is apt to note that Biblically, the greatest of the three theological virtues according to the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians 13:13 is love. Let us keep loving one another, hoping in God's promises and remain faithful to him. With this, we can actualize the goal of hive open mic community which is basically global peace and harmony.

For this week 151 of hive open mic, the title of my entry is 'My Hope is Built on Nothing Less'. The song is an expression of the theological virtues of faith, hope and love, projected by the Virtue of hope.

As you listen to me sing and play three of my flutes, I hope you derive some meaning from this entry. THANKS

Las virtudes teologales, fe, esperanza y amor, que tenemos como tema para el micrófono abierto de la colmena de esta semana, se llaman así porque son dones sobrenaturales que solo Dios da. En otras palabras, provienen directamente de Dios y se dan libremente al hombre, por lo que se las conoce como virtudes teologales. La fe le permite a uno creer en Dios sin dudar de sus poderes, ordenanzas, obras poderosas y promesas. La esperanza nos permite confiar firmemente en que Dios nos concederá la vida eterna y todos los medios necesarios para alcanzarla. El don de la caridad, que es el amor, nos permite apreciar y amar a Dios por encima de todas las cosas y a nuestro prójimo como a nosotros mismos por amor a Dios. Los tres dones están tan conectados que no se pueden separar porque uno lleva al otro. La fe produce esperanza y amor, el amor produce esperanza y fe, y la esperanza es un producto de la fe y permite el amor. Cabe señalar que bíblicamente, la mayor de las tres virtudes teologales según la primera carta de san Pablo a los Corintios 13:13 es el amor. Sigamos amándonos unos a otros, esperando en las promesas de Dios y permanezcamos fieles a él. Con esto, podemos actualizar el objetivo de la comunidad de micrófono abierto de hive, que es básicamente la paz y la armonía globales.

Para esta semana 151 de hive open mic, el título de mi entrada es 'Mi Esperanza se basa en nada Menos'. El canto es una expresión de las virtudes teologales de la fe, la esperanza y el amor, proyectadas por la Virtud de la esperanza.

Mientras me escuchas cantar y tocar tres de mis flautas, espero que obtengas algún significado de esta entrada. GRACIAS

LYRICS OF THE SONG
1
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.

2
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

3
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.

4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
