A CORD OF THREE STRANDS

A cord of three strands
Forged in the fire
Two raised from
The muck and mire

Two who were lost
And on their own
Two who were lonely
No longer alone

They each knew their Saviour
But needed another
Someone to share with
Closer than a sister or brother

Their souls are tempered
By the refiners fire
Now they are met
He lifted them higher

Together with God
They are a cord of three
Still in the fire
But now one from thee

Their souls on fire now
For the work of the Lord
And with His help
A strong three stranded cord

This three stranded cord
From the fire was forged
To bring others His Word
To lead them to their Lord
