My Bride (My Church)
If I had a gem
A priceless artifact
I would give it to you
I never would look back
If that's what you wanted
And I was blessed to have it
The chance to make you smile
Would pay the standing value
There's nothing in this world
All I want is you
I need you more each day
You're my earthly view
Of life beyond the grave
If because of you
My father would disown me
I would live in shame
With no one to console me
But I'd give you all I had
If you would be my bride
I'd pay off all your debts
And put you in my will
There's nothing in this world
All I want is you
I need you more each day
You're my earthly view
Of life beyond the grave
