Between my back surgery and Dale's wrist and elbow surgery we haven't been able to work together since last December...that is until yesterday!! So glad to be back at it again with Mr. Crockett and I can't thank him enough for the work he puts into my words.
Common Thread

IN EACH CORNER OF THE EARTH THERE IS TROUBLE EVERYWHERE
FOLKS OF EVERY TRIBE AND NATION ALL HAVE BURDENS TO BEAR
SOME SIN, SOME BELIEVE, SOME SIT ON THE FENCE INSTEAD
NO MATTER WHERE WE STAND, WE ALL SHARE A COMMON THREAD
THERE ARE RICH, THERE ARE POOR, AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN
AND THE DIFFERENCE IN EACH OF THEM ARE SO EASILY SEEN
THERE IS GOOD, THERE IS BAD, SOME PULL WHILE OTHERS SHOVE
BUT WE SHARE A COMMON THREAD...EVERYONE OF US NEED LOVE
LOVE BINDS US TOGETHER AND CAN'T BE PULLED APART
THROUGH THE POWER AND THE GLORY THAT DWELLS WITHIN EACH HEART
THERE WAS MORE THAN FORGIVENESS IN THE BLOOD JESUS SHED
THE NEED TO GIVE AND TAKE LOVE...THAT'S OUR COMMON THREAD
TO THEM THAT HAVE CLEAN HANDS WHO NEVER BREAK A SWEAT
TO THOSE WHERE NOTHING'S GIVEN - THEY WORK FOR WHAT THEY GET
TO THEM DRIVIN' SHINY CARS. TO THOSE WITH WORN OUT TREAD
YOU CAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT WE SHARE A COMMON THREAD
EACH OF US ARE DIFFERENT AND YET WE'RE ALL THE SAME
MANY COLORS, MANY TONGUES, AND MANY DIFFERENT NAMES
BUT WE SHARE A COMMON THREAD GIVEN TO US FROM ABOVE
ALTHOUGH WE ALL ARE DIFFERENT...EVERYONE OF US NEED LOVE
CHORUS REPEAT
THE NEED TO GIVE AND TAKE LOVE....THAT'S OUR COMMON THREAD
