The Cornerstone, Misplaced
Our church has lost our Cornerstone
But I think we’ll be okay.
There are lots of Bible lessons
To give us plenty of direction
So I am sure we’ll keep our way.
Our church has lost our Cornerstone
But we know how to stay alive:
Evangelism - always more.
Feed the widows. Take in the poor.
I’m beginning to think we’ll thrive.
Our church has lost our Cornerstone
The builder said that really can’t be good.
But we won’t lose sight of the mission,
Religion is simply tradition.
And we’re so needed in our neighborhood.
Our church has lost our Cornerstone
The kids said they saw cracks in the wall.
Their teachers said it’s fine,
That this stuff happens all the time
And assured us the building won’t fall.
Our church has lost our Cornerstone
So we gave extra money to the leaders.
The building started to rumble.
And even I can’t help but stumble.
So now I’m afraid they might be cheaters.
Our church has lost our Cornerstone
I feel like I’m out of my mind.
They’ve lost what I came seeking
And no one notices the foundation leaking.
This seems like a waste of my time.
Our church has lost our Cornerstone
But it was the Cornerstone I wanted to know.
This preacher keeps insisting
That through him we’ll keep existing
But it was in Christ that I wanted to grow.
