When love overtakes a man and a woman There’s naught on earth can keep the two apart A beacon of love shines brightly in both their hearts A match made in heaven will last the whole life long The man leaves his father and his mother The woman also leaves her brother They both shall cling to one another As they unite, the two shall be as one Today, tomorrow and forever What God has joined, let no one sever May love and honor, ceasing never Reign in their hearts until their earthly days are done When life gets painful and distressful And nights are anything but restful The Lord has promised you’d be blest full Of His sustaining grace to see you through The One who brought you both together Will guide you through the stormy weather You’ll bask in joy when times are better To know that God’s amazing love still shines on you When love overtakes a man and a woman There’s naught on earth can keep the two apart A beacon of love shines brightly in both their hearts A match made in heaven will last A match made in heaven will last A match made in heaven will last the whole life long
