| Pelagianism was a belief that arose around the 5th century that taught the goodness of man and freedom of the human will. And if we're all honest, we have to admit that many in our churches today, whether knowingly or not, at least espouse some form of Semi-Pelagianism. So, here's a hymn for them. Songs For the Pelagian Hymnal My Hope is Built on Nothing Much My hope is built on nothing much But my freewill, a broken crutch And Jesus promises to save Conditioned on how I behave Chorus: On Christ the Solid Rock I stand And also works of my own hand And also works of my own hand When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace… And my good choice to follow Him Freewill cleanses me of all my sin His oath, His covenant, His blood Support me in the whelming flood… But not his promises alone Atonement alone can’t get me home When He shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in Him be found Unless I forsake and turn away Maybe I’ll come back some other day Thanks to Robin for this. |
