The Power of One
A house that is divided cannot stand against the storm
A thousand tiny matches cannot keep a body warm
But when all brought together for one purpose they can be
Substantial in dynamics through their bond of synergy
But sadly we as people have this lesson still to learn
It's not just separate objects that are stronger we discern
For when we come together with one certain goal in mind
The force of our connection does not leave one soul behind
But grows in strength together drawing others to the fold
Encouraging each other in the common core we hold
Preparing for the challenge we each know is sure to come
Encouraged by our oneness that combined creates the sum
Of what will then be needed to withstand the wily foe
For though diverse we're solid in the Master that we know
And bound by love and honor we know each of us can be
Another's source of comfort when we face the enemy
But sadly we're too often focused on our own affairs
And bound up in distractions chasing after worldly cares
We miss without discerning that most precious strength of all
The strength of true communion with the ones who have God's call
And when we should be mighty in the power of Godly love
Combined as one strong body with one focus up above
We stand like little matches soon to fade and pass away
With little more than notice of the things we do and say
But if we will awaken to the time in which we live
And by our faith and honor promise all we have to give
To serve one common purpose as one people among men
Then we will see God's power in His battle over sin
And see a bright tomorrow in that hope that saves the soul
That hope that's based on Calvary where all men are made whole
And as we come together in the power of the cross
That love disseminated will direct us to the lost
To share with them the promise that in Jesus can be found
One mind among His people as we meet on holy ground
And join as one together for one purpose here to be
One body of believers bound in God eternally
1 Corinthians 12; Romans 8:24-28
