together stronger
enmeshed together
a cord is forged
not merely wound,
entwined, knitted
not even woven
many strands together
gaining strength
a cord is forged,
out of the fires, the
cauldron,
our struggles, our past
united, from the joining
the twisting, the turning
a new vine of the kingdom
bound in a strong hold
in fellowship together
