[Piano, Steel Guitar Intro] Verse 1 I used to think a man could make it on his own Build his own house and call it a home Lifting heavy beams until my back would break Living for the progress only one could make Pre chorus Then you stepped into my life And took my calloused hand Showed me how a promise turns a boy into a man Now we’re clearing out the timber, working side by side Building up a future where the good things can abide Chorus 'Cause two are always better than one For the sweat and the labor under the sun If my footing slips on this rocky ground Your sweet love is there to pull me up from the ground The night gets cold when you sleep alone But together we’ve got a warmth of our own An enemy might shake us, try to tear us apart But a three-strand cord is bound at the heart Verse 2 When the storms of this life comes knocking on our door And the weight of this old world is calling out for more I don't have to worry in the dark of night I just pull you closer in the fading light (Key Change) They say the road of love gets tangled, they say it wears out fast That a vow made in the springtime isn't meant to last But they don't see the anchor holding down our lives When God is your strength and you keep him alive It’s the quiet strength that happens when a man and woman thrive Chorus 'Cause two are always better than one For the sweat and the labor under the sun If my footing slips on this rocky ground Your sweet love is there to pull me around The night gets cold when you sleep alone But together we’ve got a warmth of our own An enemy might shake us, try to tear us apart But a three-strand cord is bound at the heart Bridge One thread can snap when the trouble gets deep Two threads might fray when the mountain gets steep But we wove our devotion in the light of His grace And there ain't a storm on earth that can shake this place Outro No, a three-strand cord won't break You and me, and the promise we made Bound at the heart Twisted in faith Held by God's Grace
