In Zion has been placed a Stone
For us to build our life upon;
A Cornerstone for you and me,
And to some this is a mystery.

 If we don’t follow the way He’s shown,
He becomes to us a stumbling stone.
When the Word He speaks we try to condense,
He becomes to us “That Rock of Offence”.

 Even the builders reject the Stone still,
And so do His children when they exert their own will.
They reject His Word, and do it their way;
But as sure as they live, there will come a pay day.

 “A Stone of Stumbling?” you will say.
Well, what has He spoken to you today?
The wise man builds upon that Rock,
But to close one’s ears is His Word to mock.
