Cornerstone – Jesus is the Rock Song Story

The main reason I write worship songs like Cornerstone Jesus is the Rock is to be a blessing and resource for the Christian church. As I ponder about the song Cornerstone Jesus is the Rock here are some answers to questions that hopefully share the song’s story.

This song is inspired by scriptures found in the Bible. When a building is constructed one of the most important elements is the cornerstone. This is the first piece that is placed down. It is important because it become the primary reference for the entire building. If the cornerstone is placed incorrectly it will affect the integrity of the the building. The cornerstone is this song refers to Jesus.

Jesus is the chief cornerstone upon which the church is built. Unfortunately, for unbelievers the cornerstone becomes a rock or offence or a stumbling block. During the time when Jesus was on earth the religious leaders eyes where blinded and were unable to see Jesus for who he was. Jesus brought salvation to the world. But for the religious leader Jesus was offensive and a stumbling block and the adamantly rejected Him. This resulted in the the most heinous earthly punishment of crucifixion.

This song is about in individuals today and their relation and belief in Jesus. For the believer there is great comfort, for the non believer it is a warning.

Song Lyrics

[VERSE 1]

True to the Word this stone   refused,
By the builders, was the Rock of Israel.
So, don’t pass by and ignore this rock
Or you will stumble trip and fall.

[CHORUS]

Cornerstone, Cornerstone
Jesus is the Rock
Cornerstone, Cornerstone
Upon this Rock I'll stand.

[VERSE 2]

Be not ashamed, never run away,
In your belief in the Rock of Israel.
So, don’t pass by and ignore this Rock
Or you will stumble, trip and fall.

[CHORUS]

Cornerstone, Cornerstone
Jesus is the Rock
Cornerstone, Cornerstone
Upon this Rock I'll stand.

[Bridge]

Build on this Rock
Be firm in your faith   ​
and You will know the Lord.

[CHORUS]

Cornerstone, Cornerstone
Jesus is the Rock
Cornerstone, Cornerstone
Upon this Rock I'll stand.

Why I wrote Cornerstone – Jesus is the Rock?

This song was inspired while reading the bible. While reading the theme of the cornerstone caught my attention. There is a visual image of this special rock called the cornerstone. It this the most important part of the building. It is the very first stone that is laid on the the foundation. Everything about this stone determine how well a the building will be. It needs to be orientated perfectly. It must be the perfect size and shape. If it of off in any way it will affect the integrity of the building. This is a perfect image of Jesus. He is the cornerstone of our faith. But, the religious leaders where blind and found offence in the ministry of Jesus. To ignore or reject this rock has it consequences.

What inspired the song Cornerstone – Jesus is the Rock?

The song Cornerstone – Jesus is the Rock is inspired by a combination of several bible verses.  Here are ones that stand out in regards to the song itself

Scripture References

See, I lay in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, firmly placed

Isaiah 28:16

The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.

Psalm 118:22-23

“…by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands before you whole. He is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ There is no salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Acts 4:10-12

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone.

Ephesians 2:19–20

“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious,”.

1 Peter 2:4–6

What message would you like people to take from the song Cornerstone – Jesus is the Rock?

The thing I would like to see from this song is the awareness that Jesus is the Cornerstone. He is what our faith is built on. During the time Jesus walked on earth many could not see him for who he was. As a result Jesus became offensive and they rejected him. Thing are not so different today. Jesus to the lost soul find offence in him. They find not need for the free gift of salvation. Unfortunately they are are lost. I want the message of this song to bring awareness that faith is built on the Rock.

Praise and Honor – Song Story

The main reason I write worship songs like Praise and Honor is to be a blessing and resource for the Christian church. As I ponder about the song Praise and Honor here are some answers to questions that hopefully share the song’s story.

When a person come to Christ and becomes born again it is the beginning of a new journey. This journey is a life long pursuit with a specific destination. We will all face the afterlife once we leave this world. It is something that no person can avoid. The the believer in Christ our hope is heaven. Our destination is heaven and it is something many

Christian hope and yearn for. It is the work of God that satisfies that hope. In the meantime we need to express our praise, worship and adoration toward God. The song is also about the attributes of God. He is Almighty and He is Majestic for that we are to Praise and Honor him. Of course one of the benefits of heaven is the absence of pain, hurt and sorrow. This is removed and we will be comforted.

Song Lyrics

To dwell in Your presence LORD is my heart's one desire

The Psalmist David so eloquently expressed this “One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life” But what is that look like? When reading Revelation there is a vivid picture of what heaven must be like. Add to that what Jesus did to allow believer to enter heaven only deserve homage to his almighty majesty.

Lyrics

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
Seated on the throne
You are worthy of all praise
bowing down I honor you

Only Sovereign Lord 
At Your feet I fall
Only Sovereign Lord 
You are above all 

Mighty, Mighty, is the Lamb
High and lifted up
You're the Savior of my soul
By Your blood I've overcome

Only Sovereign Lord 
At Your feet I fall
Only Sovereign Lord 
You are above all

I surrender my life to you
I surrender my life to you

Only Sovereign Lord 
At Your feet I fall
Only Sovereign Lord 
You are above all

The meaning of the word sovereign is “a supreme ruler”. That is who the Lord Jesus is. Also, there is only one Lord we need to follow. That is where the title comes, Only Sovereign Lord.

Song Lyrics

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
Seated on the throne
You are worthy of all praise
bowing down I honor you

Only Sovereign Lord 
At Your feet I fall
Only Sovereign Lord 
You are above all 

Mighty, Mighty, is the Lamb
High and lifted up
You're the Savior of my soul
By Your blood I've overcome

Only Sovereign Lord 
At Your feet I fall
Only Sovereign Lord 
You are above all

I surrender my life to you
I surrender my life to you

Only Sovereign Lord 
At Your feet I fall
Only Sovereign Lord 
You are above all

The song starts out exalting Jesus as a holy Lord in His rightful place on the throne. This speaks of his royalty and position to rule. When looking to Jesus the appropriate response in worship. In the song this act is shown honor through bowing at his feet. In Act 4:24 it is written

“When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.”

The role of the Christian worshipper is to give honor and praise. We are also called to place him above everything.

In the second verse the song reminds the worshiper the greatest thing done for mankind. Jesus is the Lamb that was slain for our sins. The amazing thing is that this Lamb is mighty is strength. Through the blood of Jesus comes salvation. Our salvation allows us to overcome sin and death. But there is one thing every person must do to receive this gift.

We find that response in the bridge of the song. Only when a person surrenders to Jesus can they experience true salvation. John the Baptist so eloquently said

“Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

We are designed to worship God. The fall makes this act difficult. However, the Mighty Lamb Jesus who is the “Only Sovereign Lord” provides people a way of salvation. For this honor him by bowing down at the feet of Jesus who sits on the throne.

Why I wrote Only Sovereign Lord?

There will be a day in the future where everyone will bow down and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. In this song the picture I want to paint is what that would be for Christ followers. The attributes of the Lord are many. He is Holy, He is worthy and He is mighty. Our response is to acknowledge that he is the one and only sovereign Lord. The worshippers response is to fall down and bow at his feet. That is an act of submission to His rule.

What inspired the song Only Sovereign Lord?

The song Only Sovereign Lord is inspired by a combination of several bible verses.  Here are ones that stand out in regards to the song itself

When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.

Acts 4:24 NIV

Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

PSALM 146 1-2

“And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are your ways, thou King of saints.”

Revelation 15:3

“Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the LORD our maker”

Psalm 95:6

Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped.

Job 1:20

What message would you like people to take from the song Only Sovereign Lord?

There will be a day where everyone will die. There are options available today as we live to make a decision to commit our lives to God. In this song it is my hope that the individual that sings these words will have a fore knowledge of what it will be like in heaven. Christian devotion to God start now. Let us reverence the Lord for what He has done. Our lives need to surrender to the amazing free gift of salvation.

Where Do You Stand – Song Story

Where Do You Stand – Song Story

The obvious reason for writing the song Where Do You Stand is to be a blessing and resource for the Christian church. This song is also one for the non-believer who has not yet made a decision to follow Christ as Savior. As I ponder about the song Where Do You Stand, here are some answers to questions that hopefully share the song’s story.

Why I wrote God Has Come?

There is a point in everyone’s life where they need to make an important decision regarding where they stand in regards to a relationship with God.  They are either for or against God’s plan of salvation. The song is about making an important decision that has eternal ramifications.  For some people the decision is easy, for others it is hard.  To add to this there is also a huge spiritual battle for the souls.  There is also an urgency because none of us know the time or hour when we will meet the Lord.  However, for those who accept God’s plan of salvation there is victory.  My hope is that this song will encourage Christians that God is our salvation especially when facing spiritual battles.

What inspired the song God Has Come?

The song God has Come is inspired by a combination of several bible verses.  Here are ones that stand out in regards to the song itself

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

1 Peter 5:8

This is the spiritual battle that is being fought for the soul of every person.  It is not necessarily something we can see, feel or touch but the enemy is out there deceiving and moving souls from the truth.

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2

Corinthians 5:17

For anyone who is made alive by the resurrection power of Jesus for salvation, it means a new life with hope of heaven. This life changing event is a decision that each individual needs to make sometime in their life. 

 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Luke 21:27

There will be a day when the Lord will return with the angels and saints.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Revelation 1:7

This is a parallel verse to Luke 21:27 where the Lord will return.

What message would you like people to take from the song God Has Come?

We do not know the time or hour that God will call us up.  There is an urgency in play.  Time is fleeting and each individual needs to examine where they stand in regards to heaven or hell.  My hope is the some help move a person closer to making the life altering decision to accept God plan of salvation through the live, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Lyrics

Battle lines have been drawn.
By the force of right and wrong
There’s a choice you must make

Tugging away at your heart
Oh, Where do you stand?

It is time, the enemy nears
Search your soul and fight all fear
All around the trumpet sounds

The day of the LORD is at hand
Where do you stand?

Cause the day of the LORD is at hand
Where do you stand?

There’s a war for your soul
Arm yourself for the day
Angels come in the clouds
All the saints will rise up

There’s a war for your soul
Arm yourself for the day
Angels come in the clouds
All the saints will rise up

There’s a war for your soul
Arm yourself for the day
Angels come in the clouds
All the saints will rise up

in Victory!
in Victory!
in Victory!

Oh the Day of the LORD is at hand
Oh Where do you stand?

About This Song

This song is about questioning where a person stands regarding their faith. There is a spiritual battle between forces of light and dark or right and wrong. There is an urgency for making a decision for the Lord as the end times gets closer everyday. There are forces in the spiritual realm that battle for a persons soul.

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

1 Peter 5:8

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

2 Corinthians 5:17
