Pedras

We were street stones
Kicked, stepped on by feet
We hit against other stones
We always rolled backwards

Until we fell into the abyss
Misshapen, broken, without light
In the darkness of the night we stayed
Lost in the shadow of the cross!

The stone that men broke
Remained as a cornerstone
The stone that was rejected
Is a stone that can save

If you lose yourself
Try to find Jesus
The jewel of jewels, friend
Is a stone that translates life

The cornerstone of the temple
Took us out of fatal mud
Cleaned us from the surrounding mire
This divine love is great!

Made us living and useful stones
In the temple, in God's cause
And still polishes the edges
It finds in His children

In the war of good against evil
Let us be a wall of faith
Let us fight for the principles
That always keep us standing

Soon we will be with Christ
Walking in paths of light
And, stones once stepped on
We will be the victory of the cross
