UNITED IN MARRIAGE

Written by Dr. John Neihof, Jr.

When first I saw you, my interest was piqued.

I wanted to know you.  Your favor I’d seek.

When we talked together, I saw your heart.

We kept Jesus first, right from the start.

I saw you walking down the long aisle.

I was there waiting.  I gave you my smile.

That day we promised forever to be

United in marriage–God calls it holy.

Life is much living.  Life is much love.

Life gives children from God above.

Life gives us pleasure, hardship and pain.

But in His service, we’ll not complain.

You give me your feelings.  You give me your hand.

We come together, as God commands.

We are one flesh as God said we would be.

United in marriage–God calls it holy.

United in marriage.  United in love.

One in commitment to Him above. 

We’ll go where He sends us.  We’ll serve where He says.

United in marriage–That is our prayer.
