Good morning Cornerstone friends.
Welcome to our morning gathering together.

Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens
and your faithfulness to the clouds.

Your righteousness stands like the strong mountains,
       your justice like the great deep;
you, Lord, shall save both man and beast.

How precious is your loving mercy, O God!
All mortal flesh shall take refuge
       under the shadow of your wings.

They shall be satisfied with the abundance of your house;
they shall drink from the river of your delights.

For with you is the well of life
and in your light shall we see light.
