When I look around
I see this old world
Falling apart at the seams
The threads are loosely bound
And easily broken
Like an old garment faded and torn
Soon to be cast aside
Lost to decay
Though these words are overpowering
And deafening to my soul
Hope rises from deep within
As a strand I’m coiled around
This cord is not easily broken
Like the cord that once fed me in my mother’s womb
This cord of God I’m bound to
The strongest knot of all
Anchors me to His inseparable love
That gives me an eternal future and hope for today
