Song DescriptionHere are the stories: Ruth & Boaz, Jonathan & David, the three stranded cord, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Story Behind the SongI wrote this song when I was teaching the concept of two being better than one to my bible club kids. This song is vintage...1993, thus the primitive recording.
Broadjam Member Reviews
The song had a good toe tapping feel to it. It had an "Old Country" feel to it. The "Religious" came in towards the end of the song and made sense.The vocals and instrumentation were well suited for this song and the lyrics had a storyline, which is what is needed to keep a listener engaged .

Lyrics
TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE
Chorus:
Two are better than one
Two are better than one
Because they have a return
They have a return
Such a good return for their labor.
Because they have a return
They have a return
Such a good return for their labor!
Ruth, the girl from Moab, went a-gleaning through the wheat.
Lord, she was SO HUNGRY, yeah, you know she had to eat!
Now, where should Ruthie find herself but down by Boaz' toes?
Soon they up and married....and that's how the story goes.
Jonathan and David were some guys I'd like to know.
Jon gave Dave his belt, his sword, his tunic and his bow.
Their hearts were knit together and they stuck like super glue.
I'd like to have a friend like that....now buddy, wouldn't you?
Now you take a skinny little cord and snap it right in two.
But put together three and it's much harder to do.
Fall down by yourself and no one's there to help you rise.
Stick right by your buddy, you'll be up in DOUBLE TIME!
The Bible says we have a friend that everyone can know.
He'll stick by you through thick and thin wherever you may go.
His name is Jesus. He's the Lord! He'll listen while you pray.
So why be lonesome by yourself?....Make friends with Him today.
