Greatest Universal Call

Of pauper or rich men

Of steel-muscled builder

Of cook in the kitchen

Or hand at a mill

Of teacher and student

Blue-collar hero

Grease-stained mechanic

From this life's greatest call

Of bowing before Him

For nothing is greater

Or of more importance

Than meeting our Maker

In war-rooms of prayer

 As I read this parable I couldn't help but mourn/fear the Great Fall of our great country of Canada/North America as its builders reject the Stone ...

Psalm 118:22-

The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;

 Isaiah 28:16
So this is what the Lord GOD says: 

"See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, 

a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.

Matt.7:24-27

 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them,

 I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, 

and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not,

 shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; 

and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
