The Denied Stone

The stone that the builders refused Has become the head corner The stone rejected by men Has become the One to save them The stone that stood alone Has become the stone that brought them liberty So don't feel bad when you don't fit in With the world's fast pace Don't be discouraged, no, no When all of your friends, they laugh in your face It's not so much the things you do But it's just the stone that lies in you So don't you think you can't stand alone Yes, you can, you and the denied stone He's the stone that shall never be moved He's the Rock of All Ages He's the stone that went rolling down through Babylon Tearing down the kingdom of the world Rolled into hell, and loosed the saints from satan's cages He's the stone they crucified But He rose and said, behold, I'm still alive He's the mountain that's just laying in Zion A Chief, a Precious Cornerstone He's the stone that's low enough To hear His people crying And we're never ever left alone He'll give life when life is gone For I heard them say, "we all love that stone" So don't you ever think you can't stand alone Yes, you can, you and the denied stone (I can stand, I can make it) No matter what friends may say You can go on anyway (I can stand, I can make it) You see, I've been down But I'm coming up and I'm coming up (Yes, I can stand, I can make it) Oh yes, I can, me and the denied stone (I can stand, I can make it) Oh yes, you can, you and the denied stone Stand therefore, stand anyhow You and the denied stone
