Verse 1
From the pebbles swept under the current of living
From the rocks in the wastelands, so rough and worn down
Are the stones that the Master Designer has chosen (I Pet. 2:4-5, I Cor. 3:10)
Are the stones He is using to fashion His crown (Mal. 3:17)
Chorus
When the testing by fire has finally ended (I Pet. 1:7, I Cor. 3:12-15, Job 23:10, Prov. 17:3, Zech. 13:9, Isa. 43:2)
And the burdens you carry at last are laid down (II Cor. 5:4)
He will show you the reason for the testing and trial
From the stone He was forming a jewel in His crown (Mal. 3:17, Isa. 62:3)
Verse 2
When the veil has been lifted, the glass has been shattered (II Cor. 3:18, I Cor. 13:12)
And the pain of this sojurn has all passed away (Rev. 21:4)
You will see that the testing and trials you conquered
Were what He used to make you a jewel that day
Repeat chorus

On that day when He gathers His jewels (Mal. 3:17)
He will find His faithful, His tools
He will find His rejected, His fools (I Cor. 1:27)
He will find His jewels
