Live as His Chosen People
You are coming to Christ,
The One who was cast out;
So much was sacrificed,
Still so many had doubt.
You come as living stones,
Christ is the foundation;
To the place one atones,
For giving salvation.
He lays the cornerstone,
And the one who believes;
Will never be alone,
With blessings he receives.
They will not be ashamed,
To those honor belongs;
To the one that proclaimed,
Repent from all your wrongs.
If you do not believe,
Be a rejected stone;
You will never receive,
The wisdom that has grown.
You are chosen people,
For a royal priesthood;
With preaching the Gospel,
On rock that Christ has stood.
So go live decent lives,
Amongst nonbelievers;
And when Christ arrives,
They will be the grievers.
