The one I've waited for my love's design
The one He kept for me until it was time
The one that I dreamed about
The one I can't live without
The one He kept for me until it was time

I put my hand in yours
Said it's now and forevermore
Just put your faith in me
I will be all that you need

I prayed and waited for you so patiently
And now He's blessed our love for eternity
The one I was praying for
The one He delayed me for
You're the one that God kept for me until it was time

All that I want to be
Is all that you'll ever need
I praise Him for the day
That He let you pass by my way

The one I was waiting for
The one He delayed me for
You're the one that God kept for me until it was time

I put my hand in yours
Said it's now and forevermore
Just put your faith in me
I will be all that you need

All that I want to be
Is all that you'll ever need, you'll ever need
I praise Him for the day
That He let you pass by my way

You're the one that God kept for me
My love's design
You're the one that I waited for
Until it was time
