"Stone by, Stone"
"Stone by Stone"
Each sin I’ve carried—stone on aching stone,
Dreams left untouched, stacked clean in silent rows.
Each promise broken, marrow turned to bone,
Each wound I’ve borne, a weight that never goes.
"Stone by Stone"
The heavens sang once, choirs now dismayed,
Ignored by hearts too deafened by the toll.
Layers of earth by sacred hands were laid,
Yet mud retains my shape, my heavy soul.
Your voice cuts through—an edge, both sharp and kind,
Unbinding what my ruin dared to cage.
Stone by stone, your mercy shaped my mind,
A sculptor’s hand to calm relentless rage.
"Stone by Stone"
What love remains ascends where grief resigns,
A monument rebuilt by your designs.
"Stone by stone"
