The Thread
[Verse 1]
Sat with words I couldn’t say
Watched belief just drift away
Same book, same blood—but miles apart
How did we get here with honest hearts?
[Verse 2]
Coffee’s cold, the room is still
I trace the air between our wills
One sees fire, the other rain
We both say Jesus, but not the same
[Chorus]
I can’t pull the thread too tight
It snaps before it brings the light
I talk, I pray, I plead, I wait
But love won’t always open gates
So I just hold the line with grace
And trust that You still move through space
[Verse 3]
They say truth is what you feel
But my bones say something real
It cuts like steel but holds me fast
A deeper hope, a light that lasts
[Verse 4]
I’ve seen the rage behind the eyes
When truth’s too sharp, it draws a line
But silence isn’t always peace
And peace that lies is no relief
[Chorus – Repeat]
I can’t pull the thread too tight
It snaps before it brings the light
I talk, I pray, I plead, I wait
But love won’t always open gates
So I just hold the line with grace
And trust that You still move through space
[Bridge]
If they never see what I can see
Still, I won’t un-believe
You’re the anchor, not the storm
You’re the fire, not the scorn
[Final Chorus]
So I’ll hold the thread and not let go
You know the way, You always know
Truth will walk its steady pace
And love will find its resting place
[Outro]
I can’t untangle every thread
But I believe in what You said
So I will speak, and I will stay
And trust the light to make a way
