God Needs to Be Our Cornerstone! Stand On His Rock, Seek His Truth, Follow Him!

Cornerstone by TobyMac and Zach Williams on GodTube

I love this song! So so true! Love the truth of this song! God is our Refuge! Our Cornerstone! Thank you for all your wonderful Christian music and helping all of us to keep God first in our lives. Our number one priority has to be Heaven to spend eternity with Jesus! We are weighted down with all these weeds here of life on this Earth School, but with God we can get to Heaven to spend eternity with Him! Make Heaven your number one priority! I like these lyrics:

"...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...

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)"

All the other ground we stand on is sinking sand! It is so true! So much truth in this song! We cannot live well without God! We need Him! This song is a great reminder about how we need to keep God first in our lives, we need to make getting into Heaven our number one priority! Enjoy the song! Seek His truth! He is the only rock I stand on!

Lyrics

Ahem

You ready, man?

Okay, yeah

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)

Oh, yeah

You are the only rock I stand on

Follow the Truth No Matter Where is Leads!

Follow truth wherever it may lead.

-Thomas Jefferson, US President

Thomas Jefferson makes use of the phrase "follow truth" a number of times in his writings. Jesus talks a lot about truth as well. Today we hear a lot of lies from our government and even our churches, we see our elected lie, cheat, steal, commit fraud, do many despicable things. Our churches and priests and so called leaders are like this too, they spew the Bible and preach, but outside of church and down from the pulpit ignore, avoid, dismiss, and cannot be bothered with their parishioners. They are nothing like Jesus and are big hypocrites. We see a lot of truth today! Truth is painful, especially when we see it from our elected, so called leaders, or people of God. Socrates also said something similar, I guess Jefferson liked him. Truth is what is important. God is truth. The Bible is truth. We need to not follow man and things of this world, only God, His truth, the Bible, the teachings of Jesus, we need to follow the truth! We need to follow the truth even when sometimes it is painful or raw. Truth is what really matters! Live the truth!
