I Lay in Zion

“Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a precious cornerstone, and he who believes in Him shall not be disappointed” is a quote from Isaiah 28:16 in the Bible. In this verse, Christ is referred to as the cornerstone of a spiritual house that will not fall. The point here is that if you trust Christ, God's corner stone, you will not be disappointed. This stone will not prove faulty. If you build your life on this stone, your life will not crumble in the storm. If you hide behind this stone, you will be safe. If you stand on the truth of this stone, you will not be ashamed. If you join with others in the spiritual house built on this stone, you will be proud of your foundation and your fellowship will stand.

I lay in Zion for a foundation, a Stone,
I lay in Zion for a foundation, a Stone,
A tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone,
A sure Foundation, a sure Foundation.
A tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone,
he that believeth shall, shall not make haste.

Wonderful, counselor, the Mighty God,
The everlasting Father;
Wonderful, Counselor, Prince of Peace

Prince of Peace, Prince of peace.
