It was no accident, you & me, I was yours by design,
Entrusted to you long ago, was this heart of mine.

God made me for you; was all a part of His plan,
Custom made, by the Master, for the boy who would be a man.
He molded and shaped me, He planted the seed,
Then He sat back and watched for His plan to succeed.

God made me for you, I was yours by design,
He knew someday our lives would intertwine.

Your mother prayed for you a mate who’d be faithful and true
The Master heard her plea, and knew just what to do.
God took a small piece of your rib, enough to start a new life,
He choose a Christian mom and dad, to bring up your wife.

Designed by the Master, God made me for you,
Consigned to a family, the Lord’s will they knew.

Our paths were marked, the plans had been made,
Though far apart, from His map, we never strayed.
My life was laid out before I was even born,
A golden ring, my finger would soon adorn.

God made me for you, I was yours by design,
The time was nearing, the stars would align.

When our hearts came together, the heavens rang,
Promises of “love you forever”, from our lips sprang.
My heart, my home, by your side I will always be,
I was made for you darling, for can’t you see?

It was no accident, you & me, I was yours by design,
Entrusted to you long ago, was this heart of mine.
