[Verse 1] Remember the time, once far apart, No covenant hope, no beating heart. Strangers to the promise, exiled, unknown, But the blood of Christ has made us His own. He tore down the wall, the dividing frame, One new man in His holy name. [Chorus] Oh, and now we’re built as stones, A dwelling place, where Christ has shown— Peace proclaimed, the nations near, Sons of God are gathered here. [Verse 2] He came to the far, He called to the near, In His kingdom, there’s no fear. Through Him we both have access in one Spirit, To the Father’s throne, where all inherit. No longer strangers, no longer outsiders, But citizens of Zion, a kingdom on fire. [Chorus] Oh, and now we’re built as stones, A dwelling place, where Christ has shown— Peace proclaimed, the nations near, Sons of God are gathered here. [Bridge] The prophets spoke, the apostles stand, The foundation laid by His hand. The Cornerstone holds the walls in place, Where nations gather by His grace. No loss of name, no loss of tongue, But tribes redeemed in the risen Son. [Chorus] Oh, and now we’re built as stones, A dwelling place, where Christ has shown— Peace proclaimed, the nations near, Sons of God are gathered here. [Outro] Lifted high to Zion’s gates, The nations’ wealth His glory states. Kings and peoples, distinct yet one, United beneath the risen Son. The eschaton is bright with light, The temple shines, the Lamb is its might.
