I didn't take a chance, so to speak
We're just following God's lead
He asked me if I would marry him
Holding hands on bended knee
He said that he would care for me
With pleasure meet my needs
He vowed to live a Christian life
And I had faith in him to believe
I remember when he whispered
It's not so much about desire
It's how our hearts beat deep inside
That sets our soul on fire
He told me he would cherish our love
And protect me as long as he lived
We would walk together forever
Until our journeys end
I knew he wouldn't cheat on his taxes
Or even cheat on me
For honesty shines bright and clear
For all God's world to see
I knew he wouldn't neglect our children
For they've been grown for quite some time
So tying a knot together would
Strengthen the ties that bind
I trusted he wouldn't desert me
When I crumbled and fell apart
For as he said what matters is
That he still held my heart
He'll be much more than spoken words
He'll be my trusting guy
Much more than luck or magic
Much more than meets the eye
So we're not taking chances
While in this world we'll be
We're sincerely counting blessings
And we're just following God's lead
Choosing The Right Life Partner
Following God's Lead
