There are many variations of this encouraging and faith-bolstering hymn, from Civil Rights versions to old gospel style. Its message strengthens resolve and gives hope to the singer and hearer alike. "I shall not be moved." If you are standing steady on the Cornerstone rock that is Jesus Christ, and you've allowed Him to plant the roots of your life in the rich soil next to the water of life that is His Word, you can truly say, "I shall not be moved." Whatever storms try to buffet you and blow you away, your foundation is secure and your roots are deep. The storms make you stronger and they grow your roots deeper. In Christ, you truly shall not be moved.
