Cord of Three Strands

Intro

(This goes out to a very special couple celebrating their anniversary! Who knew that when they met each other at the skating rink when they were just 13 and "Babe" by Styx would become "their" song, and have such meaning today! Andie says, "Babe, I love you"!)

Verse

I'm so grateful to have God intertwined with our marriage

I'd hate to think where we'd be without Him

He blesses me beyond measure and I'm happy He is mine

Taught me more about love than any other human

Chorus

A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart

Ecclesiastes 4:12 inscribed on our wedding bands

With God in the middle, our love stands strong and true

Forever grateful for this blessing from above, me and you

Verse

He loves unconditionally, serves selflessly

Generous and kind, doesn't complain or make excuses

Finds a way when there seems to be no way

Goes above and beyond, with everyone in his life

Bridge

God showed me not to be stingy with love

Gave His only Son, then gave me you

Perfect love casts out fear, we love because He first loved us

Jimmy's been brave, loved me wholeheartedly

Chorus

A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart

Ecclesiastes 4:12 inscribed on our wedding bands

With God in the middle, our love stands strong and true

Forever grateful for this blessing from above, me and you

Verse

I loved you then, I love you now, I will love you forever

We've come a long way, baby

Stuck with me through thick and thin, good and bad

Gave me a life better than I ever dreamed

I love you, Jimmy!
