8-Mar-12: 1 Peter 2:4-10
4 Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and
5 like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
10 Once you were not a people,but now you are God’s people;once you had not received mercy,but now you have received mercy.
“………..and you say we are strong enough build on?”
“Hurry now, scurry now, oh ye pokey, proddy critterly ones!”
“March down through the rocks and blocks and tick-tocks here now”
So did Old Crow and Crookeye and Ugly Bird did call them in tones
To scramble and tumble and speed on their way without call to bow.
“Much use will ye be cross yon deep canyoned raging stream!
“So good will ye be to hold up the road to cross that wilding blue!”
“What mean ye, we not be strong, we not be long, we just light beam!”
“Why, know ye not, ye are made strong as these rocks by His grace to true!”
