From Adam's side God formed his bride beautiful as could be
And standing here beside you I see He's done the same for me
I've waited such a long time and I can't believe it's true
That by my side God's placed a bride as beautiful as you
There were times when my impatience heart didn't want to wait for you
It just seemed like you would never come and I didn't know what to do
I almost gave up waiting and started looking on my own
But then the Lord brought you to me flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone
I promise that you will always be a treasure in my heart
To have and to hold so tenderly till death do we part
And with this ring I pledge to you a never ending love
That will carry you through all we do till we reach our home above
I've waited such a long time and I can't believe it's true
That by my side God's placed a bride as beautiful as you
