Against All Odds

They said it wouldn't last,
But our die we had cast.
They said I was a ass,
That I should give her a pass.

Now we are one, both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.

She is too old, she has kids in tow,
I didn't listen, didn't want to know.
She told me that she didn't want a man,
Never thought of myself like that.

Now we are one, both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.

Our children were born of love,
Sent to us from up above.
Loved beyond my understanding
Beautiful girls in health abounding.

Now we are one, both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.

Troubles beset us from the very start,
Each day seemed to break our heart.
Illness in me held me in so much pain,
Felt that I could never whole again.

Now we are one, both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.

A lifetime of seemed our lot in life,
Every time we tried, brought us strife.
Love was the key it carried us through,
Love from on high, Jesus was the glue.

Now we are one,both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.

Through the trials we came together,
We battled through life's stormy weather.
All those who said we wouldn't last,
Through illness they all now have passed.

Now we are one,both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.

God made us, he led us through,
He made for us each day anew.
He led us both through the narrow gate,
Our love for Him will never abate.

Now we are one,both of one heart
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.
