All That Is Precious
Get rid of all kinds of evil,
Those things precious to the devil;
Every kind of deception,
Filling your heart with corruption.
Desire the pure Word of God,
As you give Him honor and laud;
Like newborn babes desire milk,
Your salvation as smooth as silk.
You tasted that the Lord is good,
Then salvation grows as it should;
So since you are coming to Christ,
Learn on how to be sacrificed.
Rejected as the living stone,
Now in Heaven upon His throne;
As the chosen anointed One,
With the Father He is the Son.
We come to Him as living stones,
Of nothing more than flesh and bones;
A spiritual house being built,
To take away the sin and guilt.
A spiritual house to go in,
To shower away all the sin;
Prior to the gates of Heaven,
Where your salvation is given.
The person who believes in Him,
Will not be ashamed or feel grim;
This honor goes to who believes,
In Christ and salvation receives.
The stone that the builders reject,
Is the cornerstone I select;
Will be as precious as a jewel,
Very kind mannered and not cruel.
