Today’s modern-day hymn focus will be
Cornerstone
1 Peter 2:7 (NLT)
“Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him. But for those who reject him, “The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.”
Many Christian songwriters have turned to the classic hymns for inspirations for worship songs that are sung in our churches today. As an example, Chris Tomlin created a version of Amazing Grace by adding the chorus “My Chains are gone…” The same could be said of this modern-day hymn written by Reuben Morgan, Edward Mote, Eric Lilijero, Jonas Myrin and Wm Batchelder Bradbury.
Morgan had travelled to Norway, arriving just after a mass shooting that left the nation shaken to its very core. As he walked the streets and met with friends, he felt the sense of shock and some of the pain and fear as simultaneously the melody and the words began to rise in his heart.
Christ alone, cornerstone. Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm He is Lord, Lord of all.
We need to wake up each morning and remind ourselves on Whom our lives, our hopes, and our dreams are built on…JESUS. He is the One who will help us to stand strong no matter what we face each and every day.

Cornerstone
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
