Aaron Shust's song 'Cornerstone' is a modern arrangement of the classic hymn 'My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less' by Edward Mote. The lyrics express a firm trust in Jesus Christ as the only foundation for faith, emphasizing that salvation rests solely on His blood and righteousness. The song acknowledges life's storms and dark moments but finds security in God's unchanging grace. It looks forward to Christ's return, when believers will stand faultless before God's throne, clothed in His righteousness. The repeated chorus declares Christ as the Cornerstone and Lord of all, celebrating His strength made perfect in human weakness.

Submit Lyrics

My hope is built on nothing less

than Jesus' blood and righteousness

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

but wholly trust in Jesus' name

[Chorus:]

Christ alone, Cornerstone

Weak made strong, in the Savior's love

Through the storm

He is Lord, Lord of All

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

[Chorus]

He is Lord, Lord of all

[Chorus 2x]

Then He shall come with trumpets sound

Oh, may I then in Him be found

Dressed in His righteousness alone

faultless, stand before the throne

Cornerstone
