The miracle of marriage
Is God’s enduring love.
And as we become one flesh
It’s God’s kingdom we’re part of.
Marriage can be God’s miracle
Though not in every case
It can be ever lasting love
Or end in heartache and disgrace.
When God set forth his plan
To unite a man and wife.
His Holy vows defined that
It should be for life.
We are to have and to hold each other
Just like a precious jewel.
God shows us how to do this
With his Golden Rule.
For better or for worse
Is joy or suffering without measure.
God’s peace will fill our lives
When his Word is our treasure.
For richer or for poorer
Defines our earthly state.
But the riches of God’s love
Is what makes marriage great.
In sickness and in health
Describes our physical condition.
No matter what we go through
God’s love should be our mission.
To love and to cherish
Each other as we are one.
To sacrifice for each other
As God did his only son.
How long should this go on
‘Till death do us part.
Together enduring all
With God’s love in our heart.
If your marriage feels empty
And you’ve decided to look around
Have you become complacant
About the love that you found?
Don’t settle for divorce
Cast down the devil’s lies.
When you turn your heart to God
He will always hear your cries.
No matter how bad things are
The miracle of marriage is still there.
When God’s love fills your heart
There’s nothing God can’t repair.
It begins with God’s forgiveness
For yourself and for your spouse.
Invite Jesus into your lives
And bring God’s word into your house.
Remember the love you had
Before you drifted apart.
Find that special person you met
It’s never too late to start.
From this very day forward
Speak your Holy vows again.
Pledge your faithfulness to God
The victory is yours to win.
As you let go of guilt and fear
And commit yourselves to one another
God’s miracle of marriage
Will be the blessing you discover.
