the cord is wound,
braided
made in heaven, upon the
earth
fused, forged, molded,
conformed
by God’s loving hands
each of us a glowing
thread,
a piece of the fabric
each one a gift
a part of the body
married one to another
according to his purpose
threads of light
becoming a cord of power
woven together into the
vine,
the body of Christ
stronger together
many strands united
braided, bound, grafted
forged within the fires
alive with the love of
God
filled with our Spirit’s
power
