Lyrics
Featuring Zach Williams
Lookin’ out my window, feelin’ the crescendo
Sunset on a quiet sea
Sitting with the ones that I’ll forever love
We’re waitin’ on a flash of green
And even when the nights got cold (got cold)
You have always held me close (me close)
You’re the only rock that I could ever stand on
You’re the only one for me
The sun goes up, the sun comes down
This old world keeps spinnin’ ’round
I’m here travelin’ down this long and winding road
Seasons come and seasons go
They take me high, then leave me low
But I’m still standing on the only rock I know
You’re my cornerstone
Oh, oh, oh, no matter where I go, my cornerstone
Bible by my bedside, sweatin’ through a long night
Wrestling the hounds of shame
Tryna turn the hands back on a troublin’ past
Every move I make’s in vain
But even in the shifting winds
You are who You’ve always been
You’re the only rock that I could ever stand on
Through it all You remain
The sun goes up, the sun comes down
This old world keeps spinnin’ ’round
I’m here travelin’ down this long and winding road (this winding road)
Yeah, seasons come and seasons go
They take me high, then leave me low
But I’m still standing on the only rock I know
You’re my cornerstone
Oh, oh, oh, no matter where I go, my cornerstone
Oh, oh, oh, no matter where I go, Mister Zach Williams
On Christ, the solid rock I’m standin’
All of the ground is sinking sand
On Christ, the solid rock I’m standin’
All of the ground is sinking sand
On Christ, the solid rock I’m standin’, yes Lord
You’re the only one that I will build my life on
Through it all You remain
The sun goes up, the sun comes down
This old world keeps spinnin’ around
And I’m here travelin’ down this long and winding road
Seasons come, seasons go
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
But I’m standing on the only rock I know
You’re my cornerstone
Oh, oh, oh, no matter where I go, my cornerstone (all of the ground is sinking sand)
Oh, oh, oh, no matter where I go (all of the ground is sinking sand)
The sun goes up and the sun comes down (all of the ground is sinking sand)
And I build my life on this solid rock (all of the ground is sinking sand)
You are the only rock I stand on

About This Song
Tobymac says when talking about his song Cornerstone, "I stood in front of a group of people at my first born's funeral service. A place no one wants to be and I said to my family, 'Listen, we have to rebuild. And we will not rebuild on the things of this world. We will build on the rock. And I don't know if you're like me, but any of us can be in a place where we get tricked by the world. And we start counting on the promises of this world. This song is meant for me, my family, and anyone else out there who needs reminded that there is only one place to build, and that is the rock. That is the cornerstone. That's what we need to build our lives on.'"
