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 !
