"Thank God I Found You"


I was lost in the world
I made countless mistakes chasing pretty girls
I thought I was in love so many times
It was all Satan's tricks not God's design
Countless arguments, abortions and more
Physical fights in public and humiliations in stores
Buying ridiculous gifts to say I apologize
Diamonds and leathers, roses and cards but I still couldn't hide the pain inside
I wasn't happy at all
The sex was fantastic for the short time it lasted
The next day you find yourself back in the same place
Trying to fill a void that you can never quench with earthly love
Only God in heaven can give you true love
Still I kept searching, relationship after relationship
Broken heart after broken heart
I didn't realize the whole time that the most important heart that was being broken
was mine


When I first got saved and gave my life to Christ
I dropped all the pleasures from my secular life
It's true I didn't slip back into fornication once
I admit it was hard at first
When I kept hearing the Word it quenched my thirst
When I listened to Pastor's message "God is looking for a Man"
The Spirit of God really helped me understand
How to be a gentleman in the Lord
How to express myself to the woman that I adore
How to stand tall for God and he would direct my path
In the things of Him and to keep Him first
And to make sure that I brought his 10% to church
If I am faithful to God, I'll be faithful to you
My sweet princess, I pray to God for you
That you can cook and clean and match my suits with my ties
And that your lips feel soft when they connect with mine
That you love the Lord Jesus just as much as I do
That I see the sparkle in you eyes when we both say I do


When I first saw you in Church praising the Lord
Nice style, so fine classy looking and more
Involved in numerous church events
Always looking relaxed never seeming tense
Sometimes I admit that I fantasized a bit
Nothing sinful it was all clean fun
That we were on the beaches of Jamaica and we would hold hands and run
You're the special secret that God kept from me
He wanted to cherish you to the infinite degree
Now we can unite and let God's will be done
Oh how powerful our prayers will be when we join together as one
I got that special feeling like Adam had when he first saw Eve
And if we keep God 1st, it will never leave!


I love you; you're God's gift to me
I love you; you're my wife to be
I love you; when we kiss Angels sing
I love you; we are one until eternity!
