"The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes" (Psalm 118:21,22). "And the men that held Jesus mocked Him, and smote Him.... And He said unto them... Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God" (Luke 22:63,67,69).
The corner stone must be just right;
It squares the whole foundation.
So is Jesus in our sight
The Rock of our salvation.
But bumbling builders have refused
That precious Corner Stone.
For they rejected and abused
The Lord of heaven's throne.
How marvelous indeed it is
In our astonished eyes
That God should call this doing His,
That used men so unwise!
And yet these bumbling builders show
That God was in command.
For God was faithful even though
They did not understand.
Herein we learn so vividly
To trust the Lord alone.
He is for all eternity
The precious Corner Stone.
