Josh Garrels' song 'Wife' is a tender celebration of marriage, drawing on the biblical imagery of Adam and Eve. The lyrics express deep commitment, love, and the sacred bond between husband and wife, referencing the creation story where God brings the first woman to the man. The song emphasizes unity, sacrifice, and the beauty of marital love, with lines about being 'bound by love' and 'one flesh.' It reflects a Christian view of marriage as a covenant relationship, where the husband lays down his life for his wife, mirroring Christ's love for the church.

Take my hand

I won?t let go

We?ve waited so long


And all my life 

I walked alone

To you, my heart, my home


Like the first man

I was cut so deep by heaven?s knife

When I awoke from my sleep

Oh my Lord, she?s beautiful

She?s a part of me

She?s my wife 


Bound by love

One flesh to be

An unbroken ring


And I lay down 

My life for thee

In this we are free


Like the first man

I was cut so deep by heaven?s knife

When I awoke from my sleep

Oh my Lord, she? s beautiful

Walking up to me

Oh she?s wonderful, standing next to me

Oh she?s all

All that I can see, yeah

She?s beautiful, she?s a part of me

She?s my wife
