 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

God has laid the cornerstone,
That is chosen and precious;
Which is Jesus Christ alone,
And had been done just for us.
 
The one who believes in him,
He shall never be ashamed;
And shall be glad never grim,
For all that has been proclaimed.
 
What an honor to believe,
Since this stone is selected;
Knowing of what we receive,
Becoming the elected.
 
But those who do not believe,
This stone has been rejected;
Never able to receive,
For them that God selected.
 
Those people that will grumble,
Have found the stone offensive;
But will cause them to stumble,
As they become defensive.
 
For they trip over the Word,
And have refused to believe;
Everything they have heard,
Or of what they will receive.
 
You are the chosen people,
Part of the royal priesthood;
Bear witness to the Gospel,
And able to be understood.
 
For you do belong to God,
And the chosen in His sight;
So you must honor and laud,
For He brought you to the light.
 
For where you use to embark,
In the darkness to sojourn;
God called you out of the dark,
Being able to reborn.
