I have one lovely woman in my life, but we have a marriage of three. <br />The life long bond of our marriage is my wife, Jesus Christ, and me. <br /> <br />This is not simply a well known cliché, a phrase, or a simple token, <br />For Solomon said that a cord of three strands is not easily broken. <br /> <br />And when I include in my life, my two sons, I have a family of five, <br />For in the center is Jesus Christ who helps my entire family thrive. <br /> <br />The church that we attend is not just men and women under a steeple, <br />For the power we derive from Jesus Christ makes us a special people. <br /> <br />Even when I find myself alone, the number present will always be two, <br />For the Lord Himself promised me, I will never leave or forsake you. <br /> <br />If you acknowledge The Lord in all you do, He will direct your path, <br />So believe in The Lord my friend and you can enjoy His Eternal math. <br /> <br />David said Your Word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path, <br />For he knew the presence of God would deliver him from man's wrath. <br /> <br />You can have assurance of a new freedom in Christ without exemption, <br />For when He begins a work, He continues, till the day of redemption. <br /> <br />I am assured that Christ has put me on the one and only narrow path, <br />And when this age of Grace is over, I will be spared from His Wrath. <br /> <br />My friend, as the end draws near don't be filled with fear or strife, <br />For God is clear, if you draw near, He will grant you Eternal Life. <br /> <br />Copyright © 12/2002<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-cord-of-three-strands/
