By those who came to hear,
The words of hope from Jesus' lips;
Hearts overflowed with cheer.
"Praise God," they sang, quite unrestrained,
"For all we've seen and heard!"
But Pharisees among the saved,
Claimed silence was preferred.
“I tell you this,” Jesus replied,
“If every tongue were stilled,
“The rocks and stones upon the ground,
“Would sing of grace fulfilled.”
Boulders, sing! Stones, rejoice!
Listen to your Master’s voice!
Marble, granite...
Sandstone too...
Come alive for your debut!
The singing spread around the world,
A billion souls joined in,
But as His harvest day draws near,
The souls are getting thin.
The hills are nearly silent now,
The crowds are almost gone,
The songs of energetic praise,
Have faded to a yawn.
But deep within the earth, they wait,
Their music memorized,
And some day soon they’ll start to sing...
Won’t we be surprised?
Boulders, sing! Stones, rejoice!
Listen to your Master’s voice!
Marble, granite...
Sandstone too...
Come alive for your debut!
