  • “Cowals’ tunes are full and captivating whether he is playing solo acoustic guitar or accompanied by a handful of other talented musicians. The multi-talented artist’s flute work and lackadaisical vocal octave jumps throughout certain songs also give these Biblical verse driven tunes a Dave Matthews feel.” —Kelly O’Neil

Cord of Three Strands (Live at the Fast Wedding)

  • April 9, 2010

  • · Wedding Videos

Here is a video of me singing at Erik & Krista Fast’s wedding during their celebration of communion together. This is the same song that I wrote and sang to propose to my beautiful wife Jessica, and I was honored that Erik asked me to sing it at their wedding. Join with me in praying blessings upon them as their start their new lives together!

This song can be found on my CD, Looking Up At the Same Star available on iTunes, CDBaby and Amazon.

Lyrics

Cord of Three Strands

From the very first moment I saw
Your beautiful smile I knew,
My armor was flawed
For the arrow you shot found a chink,
Deep enough to sink
To the fletching inside of my heart

From the very first moment I prayed
That God would confirm to me
The provision he made
When he brought me you as my helper
For we’re better together
Knit in hearts, minds and souls

For I know
With you by my side
And Christ at the center of our lives
We’ll form an unbreakable
Cord of three strands

For two are better than one
If one falls down the other one
Picks him up
So if you’ll become my wife
I’ll promise you I will be yours
For the rest of our lives

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach
I love thee to the level of everyday’s most quiet need
I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears of all my life

Then between God, me and you
There’s nothing we cannot do
We’ll form an unbreakable
Cord of three strands

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, excerpt from “How Do I Love Thee?” Elizabeth Barrett Browning

For a limited time you can download my Easter EP "In Their Place" featuring 3 songs from my 2008 "Coffee Shop Songs" CD & 3 songs from the new CD "White" coming out later in 2014. These songs share the power of the cross, Jesus' death and resurrection, and his salvation and amazing grace. I am so thankful that Jesus now intercedes with the Father on our behalf, "When You look at them, see me in their place!"
