Verse 1
As I searched all of my life to find/The woman crafted with me in mind/To journey this life forever with our hands cupped together/With my hand in hers, and her hand in mine/I believed her and I, we would find—love/

So we parted ways, and went off in the distances/Believing you and I were not a terrific fit/Not knowing the future would hold a splendid gift/Though far and apart our hearts garbed and knitted in/A love that only God’s pen could spin/Soon we would meet again and began to see it then/This is where happily ever after for me begins/With a revelation that came when my searching ceased again/It grabbed me matter of factly/While I was searching for love, God was after me/And once I stopped giving Him half of me/He could then give me what He had for me/And reconnected me with the only lady I should have been pursuing/And when we met again I but knew what was brewing/I saw what God was doing/It was what He intended, what He had already done/Two hearts won beating as one pleasing the One/That is what we have become/Rashida, you mate my soul, you make me whole/You are the woman I prayed to know/I love you passionately, sacrificially/With all I have within me/And I want to do more than surpass all of your past memories/I shower you with the love God has given me/And let our children witness me love you endlessly/As I join in your joy, share your sorrows/Cradle your concerns, and together build up our home/Your price is far above rubies/Everyday I witness it truly/And I am ever grateful that our two paths did meet/I do not know how many days I will be blessed to have with you/But I will spend each moment of each one with the utmost gratitude/To have journeyed this life with your hand cupped in mine as we were passing through
