A Gift From Above

From the day I said "I want you for my wife"
And "I'll be yours and you'll be mine for all of my life"
Well there was little you could do or say
That could make me turn away
'Cause I prayed too long for someone like you by my side

True love's not created in one day
And with no rules to Give-and-Take it's hard to play
But I'd rather be with you and wrong
Than to be right and alone
So I stand before the whole world now and say

That I'm gonna love you like Christ loves the church
Already you're forgiven for the times you'll make me hurt
Forever I'll press t'wards the mark, fight the good fight to keep your love
A promise I made for a gift from above

I left my folks at home to cling to you and never let go
(If you want a forever love respect the love I have to sow) If you don't understand the word the depth of my love you'll never know
We may never see the finer things or the places we want to go
(But eternally my love for you will grow) But believe me when I say I love you so

Some folks said that we would never last
But they don't know God's in control of all that we have
And whenever problems come along
He's the one who keeps us strong
He keeps us moving t'wards the future, not the past

And I'm gonna love you like Christ loves the church
Already you're forgiven for the times you'll make me hurt
Forever I'll press t'wards the mark, fight the good fight to keep your love
A promise I made for a gift from above

Like a rose in a fisted glove, I'll hold tight to my cherished love
A promise I made for a gift from above
