From the moment I saw you I was captivated

I owned it I saw you, desire decapitated

The groaning by warning de-escalated

be holy, it's only, by grace that I made it

had to get a grip, can't slip, this ain't it, time to flip

cuz the timing ain't right now

you're lookin elsewhere I'm in a straight fight now

then outta nowhere you're on a break like wow

The Lord broke in light, blew the gate like blaow

It's on, on the phone, I'm amazed like ¿how

did this happen? We're yappin' it feels like I'm dreamin'

¿My wish comin' true? ¿Is this happ'ning like it's seemin'?

Then drama of waiting, we patient, we prayin’

an out of town trip, marks a trip, no more delayin’

beauty in and out, double dub, I'm cloud nine-in’

back down on earth on my knee the rock shinin’

Christ and the church we can see the Rock shinin'

two-one makes a Rock - makes a beat - our Rock shinin'

Christ and the church we can see the Rock shinin'

two-one makes a Rock - makes a beat - our Rock shinin'

.

Love, you . . .

you make me happy

Christ made this happ'ning

You chose to have me

.

From day one as one, God's grace, so infinite

Perfectenshlag, like Schrute, I'm deep in it

you gave me your heart, at start, I'm keepin' it

The year one fight is hard, yet we winnin'

Marriage bed joys and pains, but I'm grinnin'

you taught me to lead in life, get that win-win

you help me, together, seek Christ the Lord

CFBC we grew in our core

CHBC we learned needed more

BBC put down roots, heaven’s store

Rock is like you, thoughtful and kind

Key like you,  so strong in the mind

Story like you, the touch that's so caring

City like you, a joy she keeps sharing

Reed is like you, audacious and bold

It’s you multiplied as they grow we’ll grow old

.

Love, you . . .

you make me happy

Christ made this happ'ning

You chose to have me
