The Stone that was Rejected
By Matthew Kalliman
I Peter 2:4-8; Psalm 118:22-23; Matthew 21:42
CHORUS
The stone that was rejected
the builders left alone
Was in the end selected
to be the cornerstone
The stone rejected and left alone
Became the cornerstone
Jesus was rejected by the leaders of His day
Hated, beaten, martyred, mocked and cursed
But He is dwelling at the very throne of God today
Coming soon as King of all the earth!
CHORUS
The Church which Jesus founded is the temple of the Lord
Its members all are living stones within
And, though the world rejects them, they will have a sure reward
’Cause they’re on a sure foundation, built on Him!

Coming soon as King of all the earth!
