Jacob 4 (The Sure Foundation)

[The Witness in the Stone] It’s hard to etch on plates of gold, A story meant for young and old. But we record with joyful hand, The hope of Christ across the land; That children yet unborn may see, We knew the King who sets us free. [Chorus: The Foundation Chorus] Be reconciled through Christ the Son, By grace the victory has been won. Build on the Rock that's sure and deep, The promise that the faithful keep. [The Counsel of Wisdom] By God's own word the world was framed, And every living soul was named. Our weakness shows that grace is key, To command the mountains or the sea; Seek not to counsel or to guide, The One in whom all things abide. [Chorus: The Foundation Chorus] Be reconciled through Christ the Son, By grace the victory has been won. Build on the Rock that's sure and deep, The promise that the faithful keep. [The Truth of Things as They Are] The Spirit speaks of things as real, The truth no darkness can conceal. But many look beyond the mark, And wander stumbling in the dark; They spurn the Stone, the corner’s head, And build on shifting sand instead. [Chorus: The Foundation Chorus] Be reconciled through Christ the Son, By grace the victory has been won. Build on the Rock that's sure and deep, The promise that the faithful keep. [The Eternal Refrain] The Spirit tells of things to be, And things as they are for all to see; The Cornerstone remains in place, The only source of life and grace.
