Verse 1
Before the Scriptures were completed,
Christ called forth His chosen ones
to preach His Kingdom to the nations
and gather all the world as one.
He did not leave divided doctrines,
but one true Church in truth and love,
the pillar of His holy Gospel,
established by the Lord above.
Pre-Chorus
Christ is the Head, the Cornerstone,
the Church His Body ever one;
one holy flock beneath one Shepherd,
guided by the Holy Son.
Chorus
One holy Church Christ founded,
apostolic, strong, and true;
built upon the Rock eternal,
faithful in all it says and does.
Not by human division,
nor changing words of men,
but by the truth Christ handed down
through apostles He had sent.
Verse 2
To Peter spoke the Lord of Glory:
“Upon this rock My Church shall stand;
the gates of hell shall never conquer
what is founded by My hand.”
He gave to him the keys of Heaven
to strengthen all within the faith;
to guard the flock and feed the faithful
through the power of God’s grace.
Verse 3
Paul once walked in bitter darkness,
yet Christ transformed his heart within;
and sent him forth among the nations
to proclaim freedom from all sin.
Peter guarded sacred unity,
Paul proclaimed salvation’s call;
servants of the risen Savior,
Jesus Christ, the Lord of all.
Pre-Chorus
They did not preach divided teachings,
nor build a faith on human pride;
they taught the truth that Christ entrusted
for His Church throughout all time.
Chorus
One holy Church Christ founded,
apostolic, strong, and true;
built upon the Rock eternal,
faithful in all it says and does.
Not by human division,
nor changing words of men,
but by the truth Christ handed down
through apostles He had sent.
Bridge
“Go into all nations,”
Christ commanded from above;
“teach and baptize all creation
in the power of My love.”
And He promised He would guide them
until the ending of the age;
therefore still His Church is standing,
guarded by His truth and grace.
Final Chorus
One holy Church Christ founded,
one true faith for every land;
Christ the everlasting Cornerstone,
forever strong and ever faithful stands.
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
one Bread of eternal life;
the universal Church of Jesus,
shining through the darkest night.
Final Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, eternal Cornerstone,
unite Your people in one holy faith.
Guard Your Church within the truth,
and let Your Gospel reach the world.
Amen.
Pre-Chorus
They did not preach divided teachings,
nor build a faith on human pride;
they taught the truth that Christ entrusted
for His Church throughout all time.
Pre-Chorus
Christ is the Head, the Cornerstone,
the Church His Body ever one;
one holy flock beneath one Shepherd,
guided by the Holy Son.
“Amen, Amen, Amen”
