"God Made You For Me"

"God Made You For Me"     

   

   A wedding song I wrote years ago for friends, who I am confident won't mind if I send it along as a celebratory affirmation for Bembe and Brittany, dear friends who will marry this Saturday.

Sometimes it seems so long ago

that I felt so alone,

and I thought that my path

would be traveled as one.

But then I looked into your eyes 

and saw the sweetest surprise,

that God had made someone for me,

He had made you for me.

For as I ran the holy race,

looking into His face,

I felt a warmth by my side,

you were there stride for stride.

And so I took your heart in mine,

as one we walked toward His light,

and I give thanks and bow my knees,

that God made you for me.

My love, I love that you and I

will share the grace of His life.

Our home will be where'ere He leads,

His face together we'll seek.

And as the years flow ever on,

we'll hear more clearly His song,

and I will raise my voice to sing 

that God made you for me.

For as the years flow ever on, 

we'll hear more clearly His song,

and I will raise my voice to sing

that God made you for me.

"For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband."

(Ephesians 5:31-33)

Weekly Memory Verse 

   For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

(Romans 5:10)
