Cornerstone, by Shawn Kirchner

The stone that the builders rejected became the cornerstone of a whole new world. 

A grain of wheat may be knocked to the ground

And suffer through the winter’s cold 

Only to rise right up again 

And bear its seed a thousandfold. 

The stone that the builders rejected became the cornerstone of a whole new world. 

Never shall our journey fail; 

A little child shall lead the way 

Whose eyes are filled with a shining light, 

To whom the night is bright as day. 

The stone that the builders rejected became the cornerstone of a whole new world. 

The love that rolls the stone away 

Gives us life that we may sing 

“Grave, where is thy victory? 

Death, o death, where is thy sting?” 

The stone that the builders rejected became the cornerstone of a whole new world.
