Thin Red Line



There is a thin red line between us
Drawn by a silver streak
It cut through my arm
And cut through your heart
There is a thin red line…..

There is a thin red line between us
Drawn by stainless desire
It cut through my soul
And cut through your heart
There is a thin red line….

There is a thin red line between us
Drawn by desperate want
It cut through my mind
And cut through my resolve
There is a thin red line…..

There is a thin red line between us
Drawing me away from Your love
It cut through my Faith
And cut through my Hope
There is a thin red line…..

There is a thin red line between us
That grew greater and deeper each day
It cut You out and took me out
And cut through all Joy that was mine

Please, forgive my thin red line.
