"Cornerstone" has become a popular Christian worship anthem, known for its powerful lyrics and uplifting melody. The song's lyrics center around the theme of Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of the Christian faith, drawing inspiration from biblical passages such as Ephesians 2:20 and 1 Peter 2:6. The chorus declares the importance of Christ as the cornerstone, stating, "Christ alone, cornerstone, weak made strong in the Savior's love."
Cornerstone" by Hillsong Worship
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
And I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus name
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
Christ alone, cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord, Lord of all
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
He then is all my hope and stay
Christ alone, cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord, Lord of all
He is Lord
Lord of all
Christ alone, cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord, Lord of all
When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless, stand before the throne
