We used to hide from the light We made friends with the night We were headed the wrong way on a one-way track Going nowhere fast
Jesus said in John 3:19-20 "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed."
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."
We got used to the dark We thought this is who we are And we figured that we were just too far gone But we were wrong
1 Corinthians 1:26-29 For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God.
�Cause love came running like a river And we got washed in the water Then He said you're forgiven Your sins are gone

John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."
Jesus said in Luke 19:10 "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

We've been remade by grace We've all got new names And nothing we do could ever change What He did that day
Ephesians 2:4-6 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
The Lord says in Revelation 2:17 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.'
About Jesus in Hebrews 10:11-14 Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made A footstool for His feet. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
When love came running like a river We got washed in the water Then He said you're forgiven And you belong

James 1:21 Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.
So go ahead, put the past in the past Box it up like an old photograph You don't have to go back �Cause that was then
The Lord says in Isaiah 43:18-19 "Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert."
If we turn and confess every unrighteousness He is faithful and just to forgive Oh, so turn and confess every wrong and regret And see what it means to live

Romans 3:23-26 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Ephesians 4:23-24 that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

In 2011, Hillsong took the hymn The Solid Rock (My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less) and added a chorus and made an awesome praise song called Cornerstone. I loved the hymn and I love this song just as much. Check out the Bible verses that go along with the hymn and praise song.
Matthew 7:24-27 �Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell�and great was its fall.�
Cornerstone
Words of verses by Edward Mote (1797-1874)
Chorus words and music by Jonas Myrin, Reuben Morgan & Eric Liljero
Verse 1: My hope is built on nothing less
1 Corinthian 3:11 For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
Romans 3:21-26 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
Jeremiah 48:7 "For because of your trust in your own achievements and treasures, even you yourself will be captured; And Chemosh will go off into exile together with his priests and his princes."
But wholly trust in Jesus' name
Psalm 62:5-8 My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be shaken. On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Chorus: Christ alone; cornerstone
Peter said in Acts 4:10-12 "let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead�by this name this man stands here before you in good health. He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ�s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all
Matthew 8:24-27 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, �Save us, Lord; we are perishing!� He said to them, �Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?� Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm. The men were amazed, and said, �What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?�
Verse 2: When Darkness seems to hide His face I rest on His unchanging grace
Psalm 13:1, 5-6 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? . . . But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.
In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil
Hebrews 6:19-20 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
Christ alone; cornerstone Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love Through the storm, He is Lord Lord of all
**Verse 4: When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found;
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Isaiah 61:10 I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Philippians 3:9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,
2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Faultless stand before the throne.
Ephesians 1:3-7 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
Colossians 1:21-22 And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach�
** Hillsong leaves out the third verse of The Solid Rock: Verse 3:
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Matthew 26:27-28 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, �Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.
Support me in the whelming flood;
Psalm 69:2, 14-15 I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me. . . . Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink; May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters. May the flood of water not overflow me nor the deep swallow me up, nor the pit shut its mouth on me.
Psalm 124:2-5 �Had it not been the Lord who was on our side when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger was kindled against us; Then the waters would have engulfed us, the stream would have swept over our soul; Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.�
When all around my soul gives way,
Psalm 40:2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.
He then is all my hope and stay.
1 Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope,
Isaiah 28:16 Therefore thus says the Lord God, �Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed.
My 9-year-old was having trouble listening on Sunday. There was plenty for him to hear, but he didn't know how to take it in. And of course sitting still and only listening is difficult for kids.
So I created this note sheet for him to write things down. For a while it was a little more like busy work, just writing down the verse references and important words. However, after a while, he had learned to focus on the words that were being said. He was following along in his Bible without being told. He was asking about words he didn't understand. He especially loved drawing cartoons on the back too.
The most important part is interacting with your child. Make sure that you respond to your child's questions. Help them define words that they don't know. This can happen during the service, on the way home, during Sunday dinner, or whenever you would like. Without interacting with your child about the content from the meetings, it will all seem pointless. Try to have good conversations about what you learned. You will be surprised by what they may have misunderstood or how deep their questions go. Get them thinking about applying what they heard as well.
Feel free to print these out for your children or others in your church. Also, you may share it on your blog or on social media, as long as you include a link to this page.
