Thread of Hope

This song has been on my mind lately, one of my all-time favorites. These days, it does seem like I am "hanging on by a thread." Just hope the knot at the end holds!

Thread of Hope

THE WOMAN NEEDED HEALING OF THAT DREADED DISEASE
HER MONEY BROUGHT PHYSICIANS
BUT ONLY JESUS COULD BRING RELIEF
AND THOUGH HER LAST THREAD OF HOPE
IT WAS WORN DOWN TO A STRAND
HER HEART HELD ONTO FAITH
TILL SHE COULD TOUCH HIM WITH HER HAND.

CHORUS

CAUSE WHEN YOUR HANGING BY A THREAD
STILL YOU CAN CLIMB LIFE'S MOUNTAIN
THOUGH THE CLIFFS ARE ROUGH AND RAGGED
YOU CAN COPE
IF YOU SHOULD SLIP AND REACH ROPE'S END
YOU'LL FIND THE HIM OF HIS GARMENT
SO DON'T LET GO OF THAT LAST THREAD OF HOPE

II

IS THAT YOU HANGING ONTO A FRAYED AND FRAGILE FAITH
AND ARE YOU CLINGING TO THE ROCKS
ABOVE A CANYON OF DISMAY
REACH OUT FOR THE LIFELINE IT WILL NEVER BREAK IN TWO
HOLD FAST DON'T LOSE HEART
FOR ONCE AGAIN GOD WILL PULL YOU THROUGH.
