If you have or ever had someone close to you that you lost to an addiction or any other evil in this world, God will heal you and restore that love, soon and according to his plan. When everything else fails. He won't fail.
I love the way Cody puts in perspective our nothingness against Christ's abundance. He places the worshipper in a position to carefully consider where their strength really is, that is Jesus. I love the part that says that rain and wind came but my house was built on You. Christ will forever be the anchor and firm foundation of Truth that we cling to. Thank you Cody. God bless you.
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.🙏Matthew 7:24-27 Amen!🕊
To the precious one reading this, GOD never sends you into a situation alone. GOD goes b4 you. He stands beside you. He walks behind you. Whatever situation you have right now be confident. GOD is with you!♥🙏🏽
Christ is my firm foundation The rock on which I stand When everything around me is shaken I've never been more glad That I put my faith in Jesus 'Cause He's never let me down He's faithful through generations So why would He fail now? He won't, He won't I've still got joy in chaos I've got peace that makes no sense So I won't be going under I'm not held by my own strength 'Cause I've built my life on Jesus He's never let me down He's faithful in every season So why would He fail now? He won't, He won't He won't fail, He won't fail Rain came and wind blew But my house was built on You I'm safe with You I'm gonna make it through Oh, rain came and wind blew But my house was built on You And I'm safe with You I'm gonna make it through Yeah, I'm gonna make it through 'Cause my house is built on you
Cody writes great songs, period. The harmony created by the melody over the chord changes, is beautiful and actually interesting. It comes across simple like a classic Gospel song, but there’s a lot more happening than initially “meets” the ear. So good.
Listening to this song, I cannot help but weep uncontrollably whilst simultaneaously 'chuckling' (in my country we would say "I laughed my butt (but the A word lol) off": PEACE THAT MAKES NO SENSE haha indeed. Christ is everything.
Amen - He won't fail me now. Thank you - this ministered to me; just what the Lord has been saying to me lately: as I've been looking at Elixabeth's words to Mary: 'Blessed is she who has believed. ..' i found out that the word 'believe' means to 'stake your life on'; when Abram the nomad - who was often on the move and repegging his tent - 'believed the Lord and it was credited to him as righteousness', he was staking his life on God's faithfulness to fulfil his promises. Me too.
When we are in deep trouble and we. need our Lord we will know that liiHis hand is always there to lead us through thick and thin and I give Him thanks and praises for all his grace and peace and mercy .Thank you Lord
this had been on constant repeat on my playlist. may we all build our foundation this 2022 on the Rock that cannot be shaken who is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
I’m grateful to all of my brothers & sisters in the Lord stepping up Here🌺in the Lord and making music that will help u in ur walk in The Spirit with GOD I Praise King JESUS for u mister Cody
Acoustic version , GREAT faith. YES, Heaven is For Real. Why? Because kids Say the Darndest Things. The faith you LIVE, is the loyalty you give. Cody of Firm Foundation , great! You seek what you SHALL find. Michael
I know Jesus Christ loves the way you chases after his heart. In every song I have heard you sing it’s so obvious how much you love the Lord. So do I. God Bless you Cody!

Thank you for this song and the reminder that Jesus will not fail! I am so thankful for a relationship with Jesus. This is the toughest season I have walked through and I am so thankful for His Faithfulness!
John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me." God knew your faithful ministry from before the world was made! Ephesians 1:1-14. I will pray for you and those gathered here.There is a Crown in Heaven awaiting all who faithfully share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a soul is saved. ( "JESUS SAVES" below) 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20; Philippians 4:1. The Apostle Paul testified; Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek". This praise resounds across the earth: "Jesus is Lord and only He saves". Jesus testified: ''I and my Father are One" John 10:30. 2 Samuel chapter 22:verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name." JESUS SAVES God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark 16:15: "And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." How can anyone hear the "good" news? Romans 10:17 "Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (We receive the "word" in many ways. The "Word" is Jesus Christ!); John 1:1-5 The Spirit teaches through the Word. Isaiah 7:14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew 28:6. Isaiah 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 " Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John 14.6 "1 Corinthians 15:3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER! "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2: 2 Romans 5:8 " But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21. " In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians 1:7 BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast." Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in His death and in the shedding of His blood as payment for our sins, as well as in His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day, and we will be saved! John 20:24-31; See also 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 above. WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH Romans 10: 9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart man believes in righteousness; And a confession by mouth is given for salvation. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE IN A CONSCIOUS STATE IN THE LAKE OF FIRE Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of God the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ and that is permanent! Ephesians 1:13-14. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John 3: 16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation 21:8. "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1
Lovely song. Been listening to this for a few days, and haven't been able to get it out my head. But random question, does anyone know what microphone he's singing into in this video?
Just came across this and thought to reply in case it's still a question - he's calling out the chords based on the Nashville number system! So it works in any key

Please don’t just take everything at face value, a true walk with Christ is not a popularity parade…if you have truly died with Christ in spirit, anyone who isn’t saved is going to hate your guts, even more emphatically the pretty little religious people…the truth is this guy is just a normal religious person who doesn’t know Christ or have any experience of a true cross
Look up is up there observing 🤲👼🤲heaven not only on earth plus vip ticket to Father Heaven. Is ticket not original haha majority of boys girls gathering party happy hours in opposite of Father Home bff too many only Geegle 6 follow by 5 zero👹👈
A thought - when people sing songs about the faithfulness of God they aren't in ONLY singing about his faithfulness saying anything about him. Imagine that God was an axe murderer - if he was faithful in this it would mean that he constantly murders people with an axe. So if a person sang ten songs ONLY about how God is faithful and gives us victory (some singers sing about little else) etc they wouldn't in doing so say anything about who God is - or about what authentic faith in Jesus really is. This song doesn't say a single word about the character of God other than his faithfulness - for all we know Jesus could be the local plumber who is always there - who has never let us down. In the context of other songs which do reveal who God is that's perfectly fine - but people like this worship leader take the God lite approach all the time. Another trick is to talk about God's character using words which have both a worldly and a Christian meaning. For example the word love. Worldly love is tolerance towards wrongdoing - which is indistinguishable from corruption. Christian love is holiness, justice, mercy and grace. So then if a worship leader sings song after song which speaks of the love of God without clarifying the nature of that love they could just as easily be singing (and they know it) that God is corrupt. To behave like this they must suppress the Holy Spirit - which constantly leads us to the cross - to God's holiness, justice, mercy and grace - in order to align with worldly culture. Focusing on the second set of doctrines below instead of the first is the caper of the false teacher. (We don't need to say wrong things to be a false teacher - only to deliberately omit primary elements of the truth - fail to teach what Paul calls in Acts 20 the full counsel of God). 1. God's holiness, sin, justice, judgement, hell, repentance, mercy, grace, sacrificial love (living out God's holiness, justice, mercy and grace) 2. Faith, God's faithfulness, God's power, victory in Jesus To those who run this channel I ask - many people can work out which worship leaders (and the preachers from their churches) are faithful in their message - why can you not do so? It is because this channel exists for a reason other than to find the best role model worship leaders around. And that must change.
So Im guessing you also take issue with the Psalms? Cuz there are plenty that do just speak of Gods goodness and faithfulness. It's okay, not everyone is out to trick others and candy coat the gospel. A thought - Some people just live in awe of how good and loving God is and it wells up within a song of adoration and love. Not every song needs to cover the full doctrine of the Bible, but should never contradict it.
@@angelaclarklll5472 Hi Angela, Thank you for your response. It’s great that you bring up the Psalms because they help to perfectly illustrate how I see things. If we look at the Psalms as a whole we see a rich variety of expressions of connection with God - and praise of God. If someone was stuck on a desert island and only had the Psalms to read there isn’t much they couldn’t come to understand about God - and experience in relationship with God - that is not within them. If there’s anything at all not in them! They are after all the songbook of the Bible. My hope is only that the BODY OF WORK produced by modern songwriters share that attribute of the Psalms. With some songwriters it plainly does not. They focus only on the the theological ideas which relate to power and victory as I explained in my first post - in order to make people feel powerful - autonomous - while not focusing on the theological ideas which if responded to lead people to die to self - to be appropriately broken.
@@philipbenjamin4720 Hey :) I read through what you said a good amount of times to make sure that I was understanding you correctly, and I hope that I did. In the original comment you spoke on the fact that this song doesn’t clarify why God is faithful. And I actually disagree with that. In fact, the first sentence of the lyrics says “CHRIST is my firm foundation, the ROCK on which I stand” and the continued to say “…… Ive never been more glad, that I put my FAITH IN JESUS, because He’s never let me down” that is the gospel. He continues to sing “He’s faithful through generations, so why will He fail now? He won’t” that speaks on the character of God as well as His history. That says God has never failed. In the second stanza, the lyrics elaborate more on Gods character and how exactly He has shown us His faithfulness. The first sentence of the second stanza says “I’ve still got Joy is chaos” which elaborates that the Lord gives Joy in every circumstance. Then he says “I’ve got peace that makes no sense” and that refers to Philippians 4:6-7 “do not be anxious about anything but with everything through prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving make your requests known to God and the PEACE THAT TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING, will guard your hearts and mind in Christ Jesus”. Then he continues with saying, “I won’t be going under, I’m not held by my own strength” which is a reference to the story of Peter walking on water with Jesus and wind came blowing through, and Peter got scared, while he started sinking, Jesus put His hand out and said “all ye of little faith” so once again to points to Gods faithfulness, because He gives us strength even when we a shaken by doubt. The song in itself as a whole is also based off the parable of the wise man and the foolish man building their houses. The foolish man built his house on sad and the wise man built his on rock. When calamity came the house built on the rock stood while the other fell. which can be found in Matthew 7: 24-27 But coincidentally the reason why Jesus gave the parable of the builders was because before that he touched on other subjects. He touched on us asking him constantly to receive His presence. He also spoke on how we shouldn’t worry about how we will feed our families because God knows what we need. But what I actually want to point out is the beginning of the text where he speaks on Hypocrisy. He says that we talk about something being in one’s eye when we have a log in ours. I do not know what your intention behind writing your comment was. But in the same way you believe that this song is just a feel good song that can be taken in incorrectly, so can your comment. You may have had an honest, loving, moment or you may have said it out of judgement. That’s not my place to say. Like Jesus said, take the log out of your eye first. In the same text He also says, not everyone who says Lord Lord will inherit the kingdom of God. And He is referring to the heart of mankind. So words can simply just be words. Personally what I believe would have led with was what was Cory and Chandlers heart behind writing this song before casting judgment about their song writing. Because as Jesus said words can just be words. In addition, this is praise and worship! Saying God is faithful is enough, bc just that statement holds an abundance amount of weight. There is absolutely no explanation, or theories needs when the Holy Spirit speaks to us. I got an entire sermon from just the words He is faithful. In fact Revelations speaks on how the angels sang “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come!” All night. So if these men sang 10 songs all about Gods faith, it’s BIBLICAL. We are blessed to be able to sing a song that ministers to us, while also praising God. But that’s all we should be doing. Our hearts should be lifting up Gods faithfulness, which has beautiful synonyms as well. Even if Gods ONLY quality was faithfulness, it would be enough to sing a song about. I also saw a comment you made about worldly love? Before the world there was God. Meaning before worldly love, there was Godly love. Don’t get so stuck trying to find fault in children trying to follow Gods will for their lives. And although I get what you were trying to say, godly love also does mean tolerance for wrong doing. It’s a beautiful humbling thing we call grace. Jesus died on the cross for us. Which means we had a penance and a debt we needed to pay, (where the punishment was death) and God said be free, Jesus will do the time for you. Imagine Before my repentance God already forgave me. How is that not faithfulness? For a being as mighty as God to step down from his thrown, to set me free although I am guilty? How isn’t that tolerance for wrong doing? And knowing all He has done for me, why would I want to wrong him? In conclusion, don’t be so caught up in theology, that you miss Jesus. Worship God 💙
@@Nottachiminsight Hi Chimwemwe, Thank you for your comprehensive response. It’s clear that you disagree with me. I don’t feel that I have more to add and I am happy to let people reading this thread reach their own conclusions. With one exception - in case you find the following idea helpful. There are only two ways to sin: 1. Pharisaism - welcoming Jesus’ word but not his presence John 5:39 ESV You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 2. Liberalism - welcoming Jesus' presence but not his word John 14:15 ESV If you love me, you will keep my commandments. Because we all sin we are all to some extent a Pharisee or a liberal - or both. To be faithful we must seek to welcome both Jesus and his word. God has no preference for one kind of sinner over the other but we may - we may be willing to excuse one kind of failure more than the other. Songwriters must in their lyrics and their attitude welcome both Jesus' presence and his word. Even if we may disagree about who is succeeding and failing in these things hopefully we can walk away from our interaction agreeing that this is the standard to which God calls not just songwriters - but all of us. Let me also acknowledge that I agree with you when you said: "I do not know what your intention behind writing your comment was. But in the same way you believe that this song is just a feel good song that can be taken in incorrectly, so can your comment. You may have had an honest, loving, moment or you may have said it out of judgement". That's absolutely right - the same standard applies to the person who criticises.
@@philipbenjamin4720 I do believe what you’re saying about sin, but my point is what exactly makes you believe this song or these writers don’t allow Gods word and presence into their atmosphere. I literally detailed how the song is scripture which was your original problem. This song is based off the parable Jesus preached as well as different verses from The Bible? Your argument can be valid, for some worship music, just not with this song. Another question is what makes you think the people singing this song back are not allowing the presence and word of God? God is faithful that is true to His Word. If I am singing the song in worship how am I not inviting the presence of the Lord. It sounds like your issue has changed with the song too. Because what you were saying originally is that the song doesn’t elaborate enough on Gods character, and that makes it invalid. You also added that a lot of worship songs are doing this. What youre asking for is a perfectly detailed sermon, that explains the depth of Gods character. That is impossible, and if you believe it is possible, ask God again who He is. A being that refers to himself as “THE I AM” because he is indescribable. You described God as holy and mentioned about 5 more adjectives. Not even including the fruits of the spirit which is also he’s character. God is not bound to those 5 adjectives. The essence would be he is the I AM. And I’m sure that also wouldn’t be enough for you. Jesus didn’t even preach mapping out all of Gods valor and character. He picked a topic for the crowd. That’s why I even gave you the detailing of how worship and praise is done in Heaven, a place full of perfection. So if Heaven is perfect logic would say, how the angels worship is perfect. And the angels sing the same line over and over again. “Holy holy holy is the Lord God almighty who was and is and is to come. “ Are you going to say that is Gods only character and argue that the angels in Heaven are not elaborating more? Your issue with worship and praise music is not biblical. That’s my point. The only thing I said I couldn’t refute was your intention behind the comments bc I can’t tell you that. Only God can. But your argument is not biblical, and removes the power of the Holy Spirit and God who is able to reveal himself to mankind with no words just the environment.
