Living stones, living stones

We are holy, living stones

Built upon the firm foundation

That is Jesus

And as we cling to that Rock

Who became a Stumbling Block

We remember we are living stones



See, in Zion He is known

As a chosen precious cornerstone

And the ones who come to trust in Him

Will never know the shame

That He bore on that Cross when it seems

That all was lost

He is a Stone that makes men stumble

The Rock that makes them fall



Living stones, living stones

We are holy, living stones

Built upon the firm foundation

That is Jesus

And as we cling to that Rock

Who became a Stumbling Block

We remember we are living stones



By the Word of His mouth

We are made one holy house

Though we live as scattered strangers

We are not homeless, we are free

We are one family and one fold

One Overseer of our souls

Says we are His own possession

We are living stones



Living stones, living stones

We are holy, living stones

Built upon the firm foundation

That is Jesus

And as we cling to that Rock

Who became a Stumbling Stone

We remember we are living stones

We remember we are living stones
