1. In my distress I called Adon; Adon answered and set me free

C D G C D

With Adon on my side I do not fear; what can mortals do to me?

G C D G C G

Chorus: Adon is my strength and my song, who has become my salvation

G D G

The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

Am D G Em

O the cornerstone, O the cornerstone

G D G

The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

Am D G Em

2. For our God lives in heaven, and does whatever she pleases.

C D G C D

Their idols are made of silver and gold, the work of mortal hands

C D G Em

They have eyes but they do not see; they have mouths but they cannot speak,

C D G C D

And those who make them are like them, and so are those who trust in them.

Chorus

Am D G Em

3. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me.

C D G C D

I am gone, like a shadow at evening; like a locust, I am shaken off.

C D G Em

My knees are weak from fasting, my body has become gaunt.

C D G C D

I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.

Chorus

Am D G Em

4. This is the day Adon has made, let us rejoice in it and be glad.

C D G C D

This is the day Adon has made, let us rejoice in it and be glad.
