There must be a God
I believe it's true
Cause I can see His love
When I look at you
And He must have a plan
For this crazy life
Cause He brought you here
And placed you by my side
And I have never been so sure
Of anything before, like I am in this moment here with you
And now, for better or for worse, so much more than only words
And I pray everyday will be the proof
That I mean what I say when I say I Do
Yea, I mean what I say when I say I Do
Oh
You see these hands you hold, will always hold you up
When the strength you have just ain't strong enough
And what tomorrow brings, only time will tell
But I will stand by you in sickness and in health
Cause' I have never been so sure
Of anything before, like I am in this moment here with you
And now, for better or for worse, they're much more than only words
And I pray everyday will be the proof
That I mean what I say when I say I Do
Yea, I mean what I say when I say
Take my hand, and take this ring
And know that I will always love you through anything, Yea
And as the years march on, like a beating heart
I will live these words, til' death do us part
Cause' I have never been so sure
Of anything before, like I am in this moment here with you
And now, for better or for worse, they're much more than only words
And I pray everyday will be the proof
That I mean what I say when I say I Do
Yea, I mean what I say when I say I Do
Yea
