Foundation
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Build
On the
Foundation
So I am told...
What is this foundation from so long ago?
This foundation
Is the rock
Do you
Hear?
Praise and worship to the ends of the earth!
The
Name you
Can trust?
Might be a game?
Could it be just?
Be indeed
Precious
Blood.
The rock that was cut without human hands...
Crush and scatter
Kingdoms fall
Bow down
All.
Him the foundation: we the living stones.
To His likeness
Form must take
All His
Now.
