He was a living stone – v2

He was a living stone

gathered by the Creator

added to the temple

the living stone added

to the house of prayer

He was a living stones

gathered into the circle

brought into the work

the sharing of the message

of the grace of God

He was a living stone

leaving a legacy behind him

a life now ended

He shared the word

within the circle
