We are a royal priesthood, a Holy Nation under God

A chosen generation, a people of His love                       

Called to proclaim the greatness of the One who set us free             

Who brought us out of darkness, into the light where we could see.

 

There was a time we didn't know Him, a time when we were lost

But God in all His mercy sent Jesus to the cross

To bear within His body both your sin and mine

And anchor the foundation that would last beyond all time.

 

Chorus:  

 

The Stone that the builders rejected, has become the Cornerstone

Jesus Christ the Son of God, to us has been made known

In Him we have forgiveness, in Him we now belong

In Him we are established, and in Him we are made strong.

 

 

The invitation has been given, and all who will may come

The gift is offered freely, for the work's already done 

And to all who will receive Him, He gives the right to be called His own

Built on the One foundation, a house of Living Stones.
