Living Stones

           

                Living Stones

 

One by one,

Until the job’s done.

Building something great,

Something to partake.

 

Hammering out the rough edges

Until love it pledges.

Conquering the mission,

The Great Commission.

 

Small on our own,

Yet, when coming together we are strong.

Making something grand

To forever stand.

 

A life of service true,

Where the workers are few.

Still, we are hard at work,

Living Stones, all to the glory of the Lord.

 

Let us not grow weary

For we are His, piece by piece.

Because the stone that they tried to throw away

Has become the Chief Corner Stone by grace.

 

One by one,

Until the job’s done…

We’re collecting souls

For the Living Stone.

Reminded me of the Mormons who come over periodically trying to convert me but we all have great conversations in the end. Nice folk! A nice write on those who give their all for the Church.

Sounds like missionaries recruiting souls. I like the imagery with the living stones. Makes me also think of stepping stones that allow you to reach higher.

Well done.
