THE THIRD STRAND
Two cords entwined
with roses, hearts,
lace and bridal veil,
they tied the knot
with great array,
set out along the trail.
The road was straight,
the journey smooth,
their love was young and strong.
But twists and turns,
a pot-holed road
beset them before long.
Their cords were strained,
began to fray,
loosening the knot.
In need of strength,
unravelling,
they sought what they forgot.
Another strand,
a higher power,
called them to His side.
Entwine with me,
draw on my strength,
enlist me as your guide.
Our three-fold cord
can take the strain
withstand the rocky road.
Draw near to me,
take on my yoke,
And I will share your load.
No golden path,
no satin road,
they travelled rocky ways.
The Master's strand,
it bound them tight
through all their travelling days.

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:12 NIV)
