MEANT TO BE
MY EYES ARE FILLED WITH WONDERMENT
AS I LOOK AT THE EDIFICE BEFORE ME
ARMED WITH A KNOWLEDGE OF IT’S GRAND HISTORY
NOT ONLY IN THE LIVES OF THOSE PAST
BUT ALSO OF MINE HERE AND NOW
MY SPIRIT SOARS AS I SEE ETCHED IN STONE
THE WORDS “A HOUSE OF THE LORD”
THEN AS I ENTER IN THROUGH THESE SACRED DOORS
MY BOSOM SWELLS WITH JOY
FOR IT IS GRATEFUL I AM TO LEAVE BEHIND
THE CARES AND THE WORRIES OF THE WORLD
AS I THINK OF HOW WE CAME TO BE
THE SPIRIT PENETRATES MY SOUL
FOR I’VE LONGED FOR THIS DAY IN MY DREAM OF DREAMS
FOR OUR LIVES AND OUR HEARTS TO BEAT AS ONE
TO MAKE EACH OTHER WHOLE
AS WE KNEEL ACROSS THE ALTER
LOOKING INTO EACH OTHER’S EYES
I CAN’T HELP BUT SMILE WITH ETERNAL GRATITUDE
AS YOU CLASP YOUR HAND INTO MINE
HUSBAND AND WIFE WE HAVE BECOME
FOR ALL TIME AND ETERNITY
BOUND ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN THROUGH POWER RESTORED
OUR LOVE RADIATING FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
MY CUP RUNNETH O’ER
AS I PONDER ON THIS SACRED DAY
FOR I CAN FEEL MY FATHER’S LOVE
FOR THROUGH MY MIND’S EYE
I BEGIN TO SEE A DISTANT WORLD
A WORLD IN THE HEAVENS ABOVE
A COUPLE IS THERE DRESSED IN WHITE
THEY ARE TALKING TO THE “ONE”
HE WHO RADIATES TRUTH, LOVE AND LIGHT
WHOSE COUNTENANCE IS BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN
HE POINTS THAT THE COUPLE DRESSED IN WHITE
IS NONE OTHER THAN YOU AND ME
FOR IN THE PRE-EXISTENCE A PROMISE WAS GIVEN
IF WE STAYED CLOSE TO THE LORD AND OBEYED HIS WHISPERINGS
IT IS THE PROMISE OF LOVE THAT WAS GIVEN TO US
THE PROMISE OF LOVE UNFEIGNED
AND AS I LOOK AT YOU NOW
I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME
FOR YOU ARE THE GREATEST BLESSING GIVEN
THE GREATEST BLESSING I’VE RECEIVED
AND IN MY HEART OF HEARTS
I CAN NEVER DENY THE KNOWLEDGE GIVEN TO ME
THAT SINCE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF TIME
OUR LOVE WAS MEANT TO BE
