Grace has been given unto me,
A builder for a foundation;
A skilled master as to see,
Displaying a new creation.
A foundation in which was laid,
The cornerstone of Jesus Christ;
Because others have been afraid,
To tell why He was sacrificed.
For building with silver and gold,
Is stronger that with wood and straw;
Because of the strength that is bold,
And less of a chance for a flaw.
For the work is made manifest,
As the day will come to declare;
Since fire will make a conquest,
In spreading death causing despair.
If the foundation does survive,
The builder receives a reward;
At the time when Christ does arrive,
Presented to him by the Lord.
If work by anyone is burned,
He will be suffering a loss;
For salvation will not be earned,
And have not been saved through the cross.
