The Lyrics
Rev. 2:17
There's a gift I shall claim
It's a new polished rock
A tribute that honors the saved
How I want this white stone
Where a secret is kept
For the Lord had my new name engraved
Oh, He'll furnish a new polished rock
Let the quarry in glory resound
I will sing of my new polished rock
And its secret will stay where it's found
Oh, my new polished rock
So desired by myself
Was especially fashioned for me
By the dear will of God
It was quarried with love
To share it with just 'yours truly'
[CHORUS]
In my new polished rock
I only can view
I long to see all that is there
What He'll call me will change
To my new special name
And the manna that's hidden we'll share
[CHORUS]
It's a new polished rock
A tribute that honors the saved
How I want this white stone
Where a secret is kept
For the Lord had my new name engraved
Oh, He'll furnish a new polished rock
Let the quarry in glory resound
I will sing of my new polished rock
And its secret will stay where it's found
Oh, my new polished rock
So desired by myself
Was especially fashioned for me
By the dear will of God
It was quarried with love
To share it with just 'yours truly'
[CHORUS]
In my new polished rock
I only can view
I long to see all that is there
What He'll call me will change
To my new special name
And the manna that's hidden we'll share
[CHORUS]

Some, even in Sardis, were worthy to receive that new stone and to walk with Him in white. O that I might attain to that as well. Thank you for another well done song.
