A Threefold Cord
β[Verse 1] In the quiet breath of the morning dawn Before the stars and the world were drawn A sacred vow was carved in stone and light To shield a soul through the darkest night Two become one flesh, a holy decree Bound by a covenant wild and free β[Pre-Chorus] Guard your heart from the fleeting eye Let no false shadow obscure the sky For the spirit is willing, the vessel is frail Where human strength stumbles, let heaven prevail β[Chorus] A threefold cord is not easily torn Weaving together where grace is born Husband and wife, and the breath of the Lord Holding the promise, keeping the word Holy and pure, like the temple flame Forever sealed in a righteous name β[Verse 2] From ancient dust to the modern test In the sacred fire where two souls rest Let no stranger cross the boundary line Turn away from the cup of unholy wine For love is as strong as the grave is deep A sacred trust that the heavens keep β[Bridge] What God has joined let no man break apart He searches the depths of the wandering heart Like Christ loved the church, let the passion burn To the altar of truth we must return Unshaken, unbroken, divine in design A holy reflection of light so divine β[Chorus] A threefold cord is not easily torn Weaving together where grace is born Husband and wife, and the breath of the Lord Holding the promise, keeping the word Holy and pure, like the temple flame Forever sealed in a righteous name β[Outro] One flesh... one covenant... one God. What He has joined together... Let no man put asunder. Amen.
