Lyrics

A Cord of Three Strands

We have matching hearts, no one can pull us apart,
We have matching lives, serving side by side,
And we’ve seen His hand on the tiller of our lives,
Through hurricanes and tempests, I’m amazed we’re still alive;
Survival is an art, we’ve earned the Purple Heart,
As veterans in a war of love, with wisdom to impart.

Chorus:
And a cord of three strands is not easily broken,
And a storm battered house can be repaired,
One can prevail and two can withstand,
But nothing can overcome a cord of three strands.

Now the years have passed, our lives have gone by so fast,
But each day feels new living here with you.
I was just seventeen when I proposed to you,
Terrified when we spoke our vows the day we said, I do,
But He who calls is faithful to complete the work begun,
When we cling to, trust, rely, and welcome in the Son.

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Holding fast onto the Lifeline, on our bleeding hands a scar,
Living proof that we have bravely traveled far;

Chorus:
And a cord of three strands is not easily broken,
And a storm battered house can be repaired;
One can prevail and two can withstand,
But nothing can overcome a cord of three strands;
Oh nothing can overcome a cord of three strands.
