Bands of Love

The Lord of righteousness
sitting in heaven above,
Holds on the this world
with bands made of love,
One band is a cros
made from a tree,
One band is a tomb
from which man is free.

One band is His mercy
showered down from above,
One band is His Son
who gave His life out of love,
One band is the Spirit
we have dwelling within,
One band is the blood
that cleansed us from sin.

These bands grow stronger
with each passing day,
When we kneel at the cross
and to heaven we pray,
When troubles surround us
and everything goes wrong,
You just remember these bands
God's love is so strong.

They'll never be broken
these bands stained with blood.
Though satan comes in
like the winds and a flood,
For Jesus did weld them
as He hung on that tree,
Oh these bands of love
holds peace and safety for me.

In these bands of love
I place all my trust,
They're not made of steel
time can never cause rust,
These bands of forgiveness
from the heavenly Father to me,
Will bind us together
and the welder I'll see.
