The Living Stone

A Living Stone rejected,
But is precious in God’s sight;
Indeed, men had neglected,
Had been blinded by the light.

You are like the living stones,
A holy house being built;
Feeling the spiritual groans,
Resisting the sin and guilt.

Offer righteous sacrifice,
Acceptable unto God;
Temptations no more entice,
When giving honor and laud.

He lays the Chief cornerstone,
That He chose being precious;
The chosen one that has shown,
Never put to shame as thus.

Honor is yours who believes,
Never to those who do not;
Salvation to who believes,
The cornerstone that has been sought.

Some will become offended,
To stumble over the rock;
Their salvation rescinded,
The dark path is where they walk.

But you are the chosen race,
Those of a holy priesthood;
Mercy from God shines His grace,
On the wondrous light that stood.

Out of darkness into light,
Called to His holy nation;
Obtained mercy in His sight,
To be His new creation.
