Living Stone

Verse 1

Lay aside all malice, let the old ways fall away,

Desire the milk of the Word, let your soul grow day by day.

Come to the Living Stone, rejected yet so true,

Built up as holy temples, God’s Spirit making new.

Chorus

We are a chosen generation,

A royal priesthood, shining bright.

Called out of darkness, into His mercy,

To walk as children of light.

Verse 2

Once we were not a people, now God calls us His own,

Once lost without His mercy, now before His throne.

Strangers and pilgrims, abstain from sinful strife,

Let your conduct praise Him, let the world see Christ in your life.

Chorus

We are a chosen generation,

A royal priesthood, shining bright.

Called out of darkness, into His mercy,

To walk as children of light.

Verse 3

Submit for the Lord’s sake, honor all in love,

Endure suffering with patience, as Christ did from above.

By His wounds we’re healed, our Shepherd leads us home,

Dead to sin, alive in Him, never more to roam.

Chorus

We are a chosen generation,

A royal priesthood, shining bright.

Called out of darkness, into His mercy,

To walk as children of light.
