“Cornerstone (feat. Zach Williams)” Lyrics
Lookin’ out my window, feelin’ the crescendo
Sunset on a quiet sea
Sittin with the ones that I’ll forever love
We’re waitin’ on a flash of green
And even when the nights got cold
You have always held 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’ around
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, no matter where I go, my cornerstone
Bible by my bedside
Sweatin’ through a long night
Wrestling the hounds of shame
Tryin’ to turn the hands back
On a troublin’ past
Every move I make’s in vein
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
On Christ, the solid rock I’m standin’
All of the ground is sinking sand
You are the only rock I stand on
