THE THREAD OF LIFE

(Psalm 34:1-22)

The thread of life has sewn me close

Unto the God I serve

And though the holes worn in my soul

Revealed my shaken my nerves

I did not hate the ups and downs

The twist and turns that came

A tear or two but still I knew

To call upon His name

And yes there were the silent times

The distance of His touch

A question asked, an answer not

But still I dared to trust

For I perceived it was a chance

For faith to grow in me

For everything I read about

To now be what I need

Because He said His ear is near

To those who make the call

Distresses though they come to pass

Delivers He from all

So now I hold onto to the quilt

From patches of my life

For they became the binding tie

That gave unto me right

And though the needle piercing me

Drew pain upon a time

It also pulled the thread of life

That gave me peace of mind
