[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.

[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.
About This Song
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.
