Cornerstone [Song]

"The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes."
--Psalm 118:22-23
CORNERSTONE
By Bob Marley

The stone that the builder refuse will always be the head cornerstone,
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 hear me, hear what I say?

The stone that the builder refuse will always be the head cornerstone,
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 use
The things people refuse are the things they should use
Do you hear me, hear what I say?

The stone that the builder refuse will always be the head cornerstone
The stone that the builder refuse will always be the head cornerstone.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Bob Marley.

This song is offered on the occasion of the return to Parliament of Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Keith Rowley, not only as a song of vindication but perhaps more importantly, a benediction. I imagine that it is the hope of every Trinbagonian who is affiliated first to country, that this Prime Minister will not only solidly live up to the expectations of those who are looking to him for solid leadership, but also that in time the concerns of many of his detractors will be assuaged. The task facing our leader is a formidable one but I believe that if with humility and a clear conscience, he remains focused in thought and word and deed on the well-being of ALL of the hundreds of thousands of souls willing to assist in the building of this nation, he will find the clarity and strength and courage to serve with distinction.

Statement from the Office of the Prime Minister:
Dr. the Honourable Keith Rowley invites all members of the public to join in the launch of a Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, which will take place at the Grand Stand, Queen’s Park Savannah on Republic Day, Thursday 24th September 2015, from 9:00 a.m.

A cross section of the country’s religious leaders will join the National Steel Symphony Orchestra, the Lydians and others, in celebrating 39 years of Republican Status, a strong democracy illustrated by peaceful transitions of governments over the years, the richness of our diversity and the prosperity we have enjoyed.

Nationals of all faiths are encouraged to pray, individually or together, for peace and harmony in the Nation, and for guidance for its leaders to steer the ship of State on a path of progress, for the benefit of all our people. SOURCE

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
