(1)
Stones stacked up all around me-
I could see the end so clear.
Forced to face the fires of justice-
Buried deep in guilt and fear.
Many men surround me
With hatred in their speech.
But in the midst of angry men-
I hear the sweet sound of peace.

(Chorus)
The Cornerstone builds a refuge
All around me - mercy and grace.
With each stone that would break me
He builds a resting place.
He takes away the rubble
Of a life so full of sin
And fills the emptiness with love-
Forgiveness and grace without end.

(2)
The first stone intercepted
By a gracious, loving God.
There is no condemnation-
But forgiveness and much more!
From all that I was becoming
Now I am made whole.
Mercy built a new road
Beginning with just one stone.

(Chorus)
The Cornerstone builds a refuge
All around me - mercy and grace.
With each stone that would break me
He builds a resting place.
He takes away the rubble
Of a life so full of sin
And fills the emptiness with love-
Forgiveness and grace without end.
The Cornerstone
