The builders rejected
the stone,
and the gates sank to
the ground,
and the bars lay
ruined and broken,
and the prophets saw
no vision of you.
But you do not want
to cause us pain;
out of your abundant
love for us,
you healed the
brokenhearted,
bound up their
wounds.
And as for the stone
that the builders
rejected,
you made it chief
cornerstone.
