Author: Thomas H. Troeger Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #120 (2008) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A single unmatched stone
the boilers hurled aside
holds up the church alone -
its cornerstone and pride.
The symmetry the builders planned
was altered by another's hand.
2 A single faithful act
that healed a man once lame
the temple priests attacked
for bearing Jesus' name.
The righteous heart, the rigid mind
to God's new work were deaf and blind.
3 A single deed or word
of truth or peace or grace
not seen before or heard
is difficult to face.
Help us, O God, by faith to see
what seems a threat may set us free. Topics: Enemies and Persecution; Sickness and Healing; Warfare, Spiritual Scripture: Acts 4:5-12 Languages: English Tune Title: EASTVIEW
