Lyrics
When God Gave Me You
By Jack Franklin Wise
Verse 1:
I've always been a praying man
I try to live the best I can
And yet, my faith hasn't always been strong.
I have to be honest,
There were times when I was
A doubting Thomas.
That was until you came along.
Chorus:
When God gave me you
That's when I knew
There's such a thing as miracles,
Yes, it's true.
And I believe you're the woman
He made just for me.
Heaven's light shined through
When God gave me you.
Verse:
I feel the promise in your kiss,
I've waited my whole life for this.
Loving you is the answer to my prayers.
You are the reason
Why I will never stop believing
In gifts that come from the man upstairs.
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
I look into your big brown eyes
And I swear I'm looking into paradise.
Yeah, I see paradise.
Baby, you're the greatest blessing in my life.
(repeat chorus)
