0318B A CORD OF THREE STRANDS (SONG OF THE WEEK)

A CORD OF THREE STRANDS (Read Family children version)

(This song was written almost 40 years ago for the wedding of our dear friends, Bill and Lynette Prosise. Three years ago, our children blessed us with a recording of them singing that song. A precious testament of our heritage.)

Build around the Master

Build upon the Rock

And you will be built on a firm foundation

A home that the storms will not rock.

You've grown to love each other

Two dreams have grown to be one

And witnesses know that your love still will grow

As long as you live in the Son.

A cord of three strands is not easily broken.

A cord of three strands has unusual life.

And three joined as one makes a perfect new union:

Just husband and Jesus and wife.

With faith you can move mountains

And hope will help you be strong

And love never fails it endures to the end

In these three abide your life long.

A cord of three strands is not easily broken.

A cord of three strands has unusual life.

And three joined as one makes a perfect new union:

Just husband and Jesus and wife.
