The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner

(Psalm 118:22)

The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone; sing it brother
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone.

You’re a builder, baby;
Here I am, a stone.
Don’t you pick and refuse me,
‘Cause the things people refuse
Are the things they should choose.
Do you ‘ear me? Hear what I say!

Stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone-a; tell me why
The stone that the builder refuse, yeah! -
Will always be the head cornerstone.

You’re a builder, baby;
Wo, here I am, a stone!
Don’t you pick and refuse me,
‘Cause the tings people refuse
Are the things they should use;
The things people refuse
Are the things they should use.
Do you ‘ear me? Hear what I say!

Stone dat them builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone-a;
The stone that dem builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone.

Stone dat them builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone-a;
The stone that dem builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone.

Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

(1 Peter 2:7)
