The Very Cord of Families Is Being Torn

The Very Cord Of Families Is Being Torn!


Across this country, many families
 are being torn apart!
It’s causing too many bleeding
 and hurting hearts!

The very cord of families seems
 to be quickly disappearing!
As many kinds of heartaches
and problems are appearing!

The way that God designed
 for the home to be..
Is becoming filled with sorrow,
 hatred and jealousy!

Adultery, hate, and cheating have
 invaded hearts…
And soon afterward, many homes
 are torn apart!

If only we could come to Jesus
 and seek his healing!
We’d realize the true love is more
 than a “feeling.”

“Commit your ways to God.”  
“Your thoughts will be renewed!”
Allow the love of Christ to be the
 “bonding glue!”

His love can build the cord to keep
 your family together!
May we ask his word to strengthen
 our lives forever!
