Cornerstone
Cornerstone of Faith: Building Hope on Jesus' Unchanging Grace
Lyrics
My hope is built on nothing less
My foundation for hope is solely based on nothing else
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
Dependent on the sacrifice of Jesus and His moral purity
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
I refuse to rely on the most pleasant or attractive things
But wholly trust in Jesus name
Instead, I place complete reliance on Jesus' authority
My hope is built on nothing less
Reiterates the foundation of hope on Jesus alone
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
Reaffirmation of reliance on Jesus' sacrifice and moral purity
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
A repetition of the idea of not relying on outwardly appealing things
But wholly trust in Jesus name
Emphasis on complete trust in the authority of Jesus
Christ alone, the Cornerstone
Jesus alone is the foundational stone of faith
Weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Strength comes to the weak through the love of the Savior
Through the storm, He is Lord lord of all
Even in difficulties, Jesus is the ultimate authority over all
When darkness seems to hide His face
In times of obscurity, when God's presence seems hidden
I rest on His unchanging grace
I find solace in His consistent and unwavering grace
In every high and stormy gale
Amidst all tumultuous and challenging situations
My anchor holds within the veil
My faith remains firm and secure in Jesus
My anchor holds within the veil
Repeated assurance of the steadfastness of faith in Jesus
Christ alone, the Cornerstone
Reiteration of Jesus being the cornerstone of faith
Weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Empowerment for the weak through the love of the Savior
Through the storm, He is Lord lord of all
Confirmation of Jesus' supreme authority in turbulent times
He is Lord, Lord of all
Reaffirmation of Jesus' sovereignty over everything
Christ alone, the Cornerstone
Restating Jesus as the cornerstone of faith
Weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Renewed strength for the weak through the Savior's love
Through the storm, He is Lord lord of all
Assertion of Jesus' supremacy amidst storms and challenges
When He shall come with trumpet sound
The anticipated return of Jesus with grandeur and authority
Oh may I then, in Him be found
Expresses the desire to be found in Jesus at His return
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Clad only in the righteousness given by Jesus
Faultless stand before the throne
To stand blameless before the divine judgment
Faultless stand before the throne
To stand faultless before the throne of God
