Cornerstone | Spirit and I

The Story

We are all builders. Every day, we lay bricks of ambition, security, and pride, trying to construct a life that makes sense on our own terms. We often view Jesus as a decorative piece—something to acknowledge but not something to anchor to. This song is about the realization that when the storms of life hit, our self-made structures aren't enough. Building our lives around praising and serving Him isn't just a religious exercise; it is a practical necessity for survival. He is the only structure strong enough to hold us when the world shakes.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The builders draw their perfect plans They lay the lines with careful hands They look for glory, they look for gold For a kingdom bought and a kingdom sold They ignore the Stone that doesn't fit And build their houses over it. [Chorus] But the Stone that the builders rejected Has become the Cornerstone! The King that the world has neglected Is seated on the throne! He’s the Rock! He’s the Foundation! The Hope of every nation! The Stone that the builders rejected Has become the Cornerstone! [Verse 2] They think they’ve cast the Truth away To crumble in the dust and clay But every wall that we try to raise Without His light, without His praise Is bound to buckle, is bound to break With every tremor that the shadows make. [Chorus] But the Stone that the builders rejected Has become the Cornerstone! The King that the world has neglected Is seated on the throne! He’s the Rock! He’s the Foundation! The Hope of every nation! The Stone that the builders rejected Has become the Cornerstone! [Bridge] On this Rock I’ll build my life! Through the storm and through the strife! HE WON’T SHAKE! HE WON’T MOVE! HE’S THE STRENGTH WE’RE GONNA PROVE! [Chorus] But the Stone that the builders rejected Has become the Cornerstone! The King that the world has neglected Is seated on the throne! He’s the Rock! He’s the Foundation! The Hope of every nation! The Stone that the builders rejected Has become the Cornerstone! [Outro] The Foundation is set... The Stone is in place... He is my cornerstone!
