Cornerstone
by Hillsong Worship
Theology & Meaning
This remix of a historic hymn centers on Christ as the cornerstone of our faith and hope. It emphasizes grace in the middle of storms and the security believers have in Jesus alone. The theology ties present comfort to future hope when we see Him face to face.
Worship Leadership Tips
This is helpful in seasons of uncertainty or when you want to remind your church where their true foundation lies. It works well both in more traditional services and fully modern contexts. Encourage people who feel shaken to picture themselves standing on the solid rock of Christ as they sing.
Arrangement Tips
Honor the melodic simplicity of the original hymn while allowing modern textures to support it. Keep the tempo steady and avoid dragging so the song does not feel heavy. Use a strong but not overwhelming build into the final chorus to reflect confidence in Christ.
