Analysis of Blood is Thicker than Water

Douglas H. Mc Clintock 1934 (Sarnia, Ontario)



Blood is thicker than water
Blood is thicker than water
When you have an Earth Angel for a daughter.

Blood is thicker than water
When your son brings a coffee, donut to his old father.

Blood is thicker than water
When your friend sees your mistakes, still likes you.

Blood is thicker than water
When you hold hands and say I love you.

Blood is thicker than water
To say the marriage vows, till death do us part.

Blood is thicker than water
When God so gave - John 3 : 16.

Blood is thicker than water
When Jesus died on the cross, shed His blood.

Blood is thicker than water
When we become part of God's family !
