A Wedding Song

I think if I set this to music,
there would need to be
a banjo and fiddle.

God took pity on the pretty girl.
God took pity on the pretty girl
who longed so much
for a loving touch,
and so he met her need.

God was gracious to an audacious man.
God was gracious to an audacious man
who longed so much
for a loving touch,
and so he met his need.

God chose where their roads would cross.
God chose where their roads would cross
and had the plan in his own hand,
and so he met their needs.

Little did they guess that all the rest,
Little did they guess that all the rest
of life would lead them here
to stand before you now,
to stand before you now.

God took pity on the pretty girl.
God was gracious to an audacious man.
God chose where their roads would cross.
Little did they guess that all the rest
of life would lead them here.
