Cut Cords

"Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.... The Lord is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked" (Psalm 129:2,4).

The cords of the wicked have never prevailed
To draw me away from my God.
How can it be that they so clearly failed?
Now doesn't that seem a bit odd?

No, not at all, if you know of the grace
That guards us each step of the way.
Yes, everyday there are trials to face,
But this only prompts us to pray.

God is the One who cuts all the cords
That bind us without and within.
The Sword of the Spirit, His Word, thus affords
The freedom that severs our sin.
