New Worship Song: “Precious Cornerstone” by Royal Anthems
Now Available
“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.”
— Isaiah 28:16
There are truths we need to sing.
When circumstances change, when life feels uncertain, and when the world around us shifts, God’s Word calls us back to the One who never changes.
That’s the heart behind “Precious Cornerstone,” the much-anticipated new worship song from Royal Anthems.
Written during the Royal Anthems West Coast Regional Songwriting Camp in February 2026 by Steve Lensink, Luke Stones, and Avri Paul, this new worship anthem declares the unchanging hope we have in Jesus Christ. As the song reminds us:
“Nations rise and kingdoms fall…
We’re standing on the truth of this,
Our solid ground, His faithfulness.”
Our prayer is that every time you hear Precious Cornerstone, you’ll be reminded that your life is built on more than your circumstances. It’s built on Jesus Christ—the One who is faithful, steadfast, and worthy of your trust in every season.
Recorded live during the 3rd Annual National Songwriting Camp at Crossroads Unity Commons in Burlington, Ontario, the song features Bobby Lane and Kylie Berry leading worship alongside the Royal Anthems community.
Now available on all major streaming platforms, Precious Cornerstone is our prayer for the Church—a song to strengthen faith, encourage believers, and lift our eyes to Jesus.

Worship Leaders: Bring Precious Cornerstone to Your Church
We don’t write songs simply to be listened to—we write them to be sung by the Church.
If you’re a worship leader, we’d love to invite your congregation to sing Precious Cornerstone.
To help you learn the song, we’ve made the free chord chart available for download. If your church uses SongSelect by CCLI, you’ll also find the song there.
Our prayer is that churches across Canada and beyond would declare together:
“Christ and Christ alone,
Rock that’s never shaken…
This is our foundation,
Precious Cornerstone.”
