The Denied Stone Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
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.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e74256-vanessa_bell_armstrong~the_denied_stone_lyrics.html ]
So don't feel bad when you don't fit in
with the world's fast pace,
don't be discouraged,
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.

[Verse 2:]
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”.

[Verse 3:]
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.

[Vamp:]
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).
