When all around great problems prowl And life is torn from my control When wildest storms within me howl I hear a voice deep in my soul My Christ is yet The Lord of all My Christ is yet The Lord of all
Then fiercest winds hush to a calm And darkest skies end with a dawn And all the birds begin their song Of sweetest hope that rests upon That Christ is still The cornerstone That Christ is still The cornerstone
There only faith can be my sight In sleepless nights and darkest days He shows His face by Heaven’s light Though I am small still I will praise
For His great gift Forever stays For His great gift Forever stays
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 NKJV

Pastor Pete, this poem is so powerful! And timely! Praise God! Just this morning I read about Jesus being our Cornerstone (and was singing it). Last Saturday I never heard the birds sing as much as they were singing in my short “sneak” into the woods to praise God! You’re a gifted wordsmith–allowing God to sharpen your gift and bless us all! Thank you, Pete! This is beautiful! Forever stays—faith, hope, and love. HE’S our cornerstone!

What a great praise poem, Pastor Pete! 🙂
Thank you Carly. I have not written any for a very long time and then the first words came to my heart. I am grateful they could bless you.
Aww, I am glad you decided to write again. Great words you penned. Please keep writing. 🙂
