Cornerstone

Recently I've been having a really bad time struggling in almost every aspect of my life — Family, relationship, money, and life in general. My life has never felt more meaningless, especially when there isn't any workload from school to distract me. I haven't realised how the 'hope' that I have was now placed on earthly things. I've been chasing things that will rot and die and pass away. Things that slowly diminished and left me there — alone and empty. I haven't realised how far I've drifted from God because of my sins. Prayers did not feel like conversations with God, but rather self–centered requests that were sometimes answered because of His grace.

Today I was touched by 2 songs we sang for worship in church. This was one of them.

"I dare not trust the sweetest frame
but wholly trust in Jesus' name"

This sentence struck me then. The sweetest moments come and go in life, and nothing lasts forever but only our anchor Jesus Christ.


-Verse 1-
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

[Verse 1]

-Chorus-
Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong, in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord, Lord of All

-Verse 2-
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 

[Chorus]

He is Lord, Lord of all

[Chorus 2x]

-Verse 3-
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
