[Refrain - full pulse] Stone by stone, come to the Living Stone. Once no people,now the people of God. Out of the dark, into marvelous light: tell what the Merciful One has done. [Verse 1 - clipped] Drop malice at the threshold. Leave guile, envy, and borrowed faces. Crave the pure word like a child at milk; taste that the Lord is gracious. Rejected by men, chosen by God, Christ bears the corner of the house. [Interlude - 2 bars] [Verse 2 - longer steps] Living stones do not float alone; they are fitted into a spiritual house, a priestly people bringing through Jesus what God receives as acceptable. Strangers still, pilgrims still, we fight the desires that war inside and make good conduct visible among accusers. [Bridge - half-time] Free, yet servants. Honor every person. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. Christ answered reviling with no reviling; sinless, he trusted the righteous Judge, and bore our sins in his body on the tree. [Refrain - wider] Stone by stone, come to the Living Stone. By his wounds we turn toward righteousness. Wandering sheep have found the Shepherd, and darkness cannot name us now. [Outro - hard stop] Chosen to show his praises. Built where the Cornerstone stands.
