Cornerstone is the twenty-first album in the live praise and worship series of contemporary worship music by Hillsong Live. It reached No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart,[1] debuted at No. 32 on the Billboard 200 chart, and became the No. 1 album on the Billboard Christian Albums chart.[2]

Its first single was "Hope of the World", a song written by Jason Ingram, Reuben Morgan and Matthew Bronleewee, that also is available in Studio Version, in the Deluxe Edition (Digital). Two live music videos has been released on their VEVO channel: "Hope of the World" and "Cornerstone" featuring Reuben Morgan and David Ware respectively. "Cornerstone" is a reworking of the verses from Edward Mote's "My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less".

This is the last Hillsong Live album to feature Darlene Zschech as a worship leader and this is the first time that Zschech did not contribute any of her original songs.[not verified in body]

Recording[edit]

Cornerstone was recorded at the Allphones Arena in Sydney Olympic Park, the Sydney Entertainment Centre, and the Hillsong Convention Centre by Reuben Morgan, Joel Houston, Darlene Zschech and the Hillsong Live team on 30 October 2011 and in early 2012. The worship night was called "Together As One: Our Live Album Recording".

Critical reception[edit]

  • New Release Tuesday : I eagerly await each new Hillsong release and Cornerstone is truly stellar and is the top overall album by Hillsong LIVE. Every single song could be added to your Sunday morning worship set.
  • Louder Than The Music: This album is full of great songs that will be used for times of worship.

Extended play[edit]

Cornerstone is also a related live extended play by Hillsong Live, which was released in May 2012. The EP includes two songs in two different versions, live and studio.[3]
