Marble & Mortar

Written by Jen Smale, Taylor Vickerman & Zion Rempel

Lyrics

INTRO

VERSE 1

A voice within the darkness

Revealed design of light and earth

Void then met the vision

A cosmic wonder formed by word

And the marble and mortar was there

VERSE 2

Breathing image into likeness

You formed life from dirt and clay

Your fingerprints upon Your children

In perfect love a kingdom made

And the marble and mortar was there

INTERLUDE

VERSE 3

A veil to break the oneness

With a serpent’s word our fall

Mortality invaded

A tragedy of death and war

And the marble and mortar was there

VERSE 4

The Word became our ransom

To bear the cross of sin and shame

Flesh torn to heal the broken

His body pierced by those He made

And the marble and mortar was there

And the marble and mortar was there

There the marble and mortar laid bare

VERSE 5

The cross the final statement

Death defeating sin and grave

A triumph over darkness

Resurrection life at break of day

And the marble and mortar was here

And the marble and mortar was here

INSTR

CHORUS

All our earthly temples crumble

At the feet of Him above them

Only One will stand forever

Jesus Christ the King of heaven

You are timeless in nature

And the grace within our failure

Only One will stand forever

King Jesus, Jesus Jesus!

OUTRO / REPRISE

On this marble and mortar I stand

On this marble and mortar I stand

On Jesus, my Savior I stand

And my marble and mortar He will remain
