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
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
Christ alone, Cornerstone
The weak made strong in the Saviour'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
My anchor holds within the veil
Christ alone, Cornerstone
The weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
He is Lord, Lord of all
Christ alone, Cornerstone
The weak made strong in the Saviour'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 I stand before the throne
When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless I stand before the throne
For what triumph we have in Christ
What victory we have in the name of Jesus
Christ alone, Cornerstone
The weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
Christ alone, Cornerstone
The weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
Christ alone, Cornerstone
The weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all

Bethel Music's rendition of 'Cornerstone' is a modern worship adaptation of the classic hymn 'My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less' by Edward Mote. The song declares that Christ alone is the firm foundation for faith, especially in times of trial and uncertainty. It emphasizes trusting in Jesus' righteousness rather than human efforts, finding strength in His love, and resting in His unchanging grace. The lyrics also look forward to Christ's return, when believers will stand faultless before God. The song encourages hope and confidence in Christ as the anchor that holds through every storm.
