Greater Than the Stone--

Seems like you've been whittled and torn 
Wish you hadn't been born 
Been persecuted and worn 
Wish you hadn't been born 
But alas you whom hold the prize 
Been made in His image been washed in His Holy Blood 
Now you realize commingled with creativity 
And braced in his love 
Your first father and you made him from the dirt From the Earth But left Paradise giving away your greater than the stone And you never been alone You're greater than the stone God has made you one of his own Your greater than the stone Crown casting everlasting hallmark efface compile Created from the ground breath in my carcass I am greater than Stone Have been chosen And persecuted and warned Wish you hadn't been born But I've been made in His image you never be alone I'm greater than Stone/em>
