MY TRUE LOVE

Lord, have mercy on my soul
For all the wrong I've done,
When I was young and foolish
And searching for some fun.

My daddy told me, "son,
You reap what you sow."
Everything I've learned the hard way
Are the only things I know.

I searched all the honky tonks
And every bar in town,
The right woman for me to love
I had not yet found.

My mother always said,
"Why not look at church?
There's where you'll find
The right one to end your search.

So, here I am singing a song.
To the music of a choir.
Next to me is my true love
Who sets my heart on fire.

I can see her left hand
And there's my wedding ring
She catches me peeking at her
With every line we sing.

A man and wife are equally yoked
In everything they do;
That's why I celebrate
God saving me for you!

We never know what life may bring
And drop into our hands.
We just have to live and wait
The outcome of God's plans.
