It's been 4 years of marriage - I can't wait for five
I can't lie - this has been the hardest thing in our lives
(Yeah, One) After the honeymoon reality hit
this is the person I spent the rest of - my life with
The truth is we failed to really understand each others needs
This'll bring us to fuss over the simplest of things
Yeah we were Christians but we were still both immature
Now we would learn - what it really means "to endure" (Yeah , Two)
the Lord was growing us despite our frustrations
Working in His longsuffering, love, patience
The more we would submit the more it became different
Now Agape love is not a feelin' now it's a commitment, (Yeah , Three)
It's been beautiful seeing the Lord conforming me
Our lives two different voices now we're singing in harmony
And yeah , boy, yeah we struggle with things
But through it I'll say that marriage is a wonderful thing!
LADIES, be the wives you were created to be: in submission, a helpmeet that makes him complete.
FELLAS, lead and guide with love your wives and in the same way Christ shows he loves His Bride
LADIES: don't see this as a form of weakness but strength and find joy that is pleasing to him
FELLAS, you're equal. it don't mean that you rude, its just more responsibility is given to you
I want to encourage those believers who've been having a lot
of problems and now you feel your marriage on the rocks
Don't give up ...even though it's crushing for you
Know that love is not a feeling, man, it's something you do
Remember ... Christ loved us so He came and died
And death'll be the key for marriage stayin' alive
Listen, I pray that you guys 'll grow through the hurt
Continut t fight cua I truly know that it's worth
Seek the Lord : this aint something tha you can manage yourself
Don't point the finger at your spouse : first examine yourself
Make sure you're communicate : and give some quality time.
Trust me; love can be seen, man, love isn't blind
Often when we're married we don't share how we feel inside
and it's time to come past we don't feel the vibe
But it's there; it just needs to be shown and seen
So stand strong as you both seek the Throne of the King
***STANZA***
Now if you ...are desiring a husband or wife
That's nice - but make sure that you're viewing this right
See ... I don't want you to get cap-tured in the fact of
it's housewife, prince and happily ever after
That's true but not the full purpose at all
It's a covenant before God : a ministry call
What marriage does ...is paint a pic-ture on earth
of ....Christ the King and His Bride the Church
We're priviledged to be the artists with the brush in hand
Daily displaying His paint and through all in the land
The man has the chance of showing how Christ
loves the Church through the ways lovin' his wife
that ain't easy ....... when you look and see that He died
Conflict sympathize also leads and guides
The wife shows - how the Church is under submission
so... before you marry please seek the Scriptures.
