“Every Single Stone” is a powerful song about Peter’s denial of Jesus, written and sung here by Leigh Newton. The song sounds like it is from a musical production. Complex, compelling. A wonderful Maundy Thursday reflection.
Every single stone’s a broken stone
Each sunset peak and gravel road
Each jeweled ring and silver lode
Every single rock is etched in grey
Peter’s in the courtyard by the fire
His light, his hope now stands condemned
He can’t admit he’s more than friend
Peter’s in the courtyard by the fire
But Jesus knew before the dawn, before the cock would crow
Peter would deny the Son of God
And while the ancient city lay in sleep, the pieces kept on moving
Sheet music and lyrics here.
