Not one stone upon another
Thus You spoke Lord long ago
That we serve not what must falter
But Your Kingdom’s glory know
Long we laboured in days gone by
Trusting in Your gracious hand
Gathered from quarry and quarters
Stones and servants of this land
Every stone an act of worship
Placed atop the one below
Drawing eye, mind, and heart upward
Signs of paradise to show
Bound by something more than mortar
And aligned by wisdom true
So that those who come long after
May come face to face with You
In these stones we found Your shelter
Voices lifted up in prayer
Sinners gathered at Your Table
Grace and love You give to share
Rainbow light shines down upon us
Scripture stories all around
Windows into sweet communion
With Your saints warm welcome found
Here were countless humble hands laid
To the trowel and to ordain
Workers for Your harvest ready
Sent to labour not in vain
Stone on stone has caused the stranger
To ask questions or admire
Amid all life’s many worries
For what purpose we aspire?
Not one stone upon another
Will endure forevermore
Yet as Living Stones we gather
In hope for what lies in store
And so Father, keep us faithful
Jesus Saviour bound to Thee
Spirit breathe new life into us
Built together to be free
Not one stone upon another
Thus You spoke Lord long ago
That we serve not what must falter
But Your Kingdom’s glory know
And ‘til New Creation coming
Keep us steadfast in Your way
That as Stones we point all to You
Built for Love’s eternal day
