My Answered Prayer

I wrote a letter to my future love

The mystery that I was dreaming of

I pretended that we already met

It was enthralling me

Like you were calling me from afar

I sealed the letter then I set a prayer

Three years went by, wondering if you were there

How was I to imagine the joy

That had awaited us

God had created us for each other

And now like the words of the letter... you arrived

Now I can feel what it means to be alive

You are the one I searched for everywhere

Oh my love... you are my answered prayer

The way I met you was a great surprise

So many glimpses till I saw your eyes

There were oceans between us at first

But like two birds in all

Somehow we made it to shore

And when at last your arms enfolded me

And love reached out and touched us breathlessly

All the years of waiting melted away

One kiss was all it took

And that FOREVER look

For now like the words of the letter... you arrived

Now I can feel what it means to be alive

You are the one I searched for everywhere

Oh my love... you are my answered prayer

When I was certain that our love was true

I shared the letter I had written you

Inside the words from long ago

Are the things that now we know

The written from afar...

They were all the things you are

Now like the words of the letter... you arrived

Now I can feel what it means to be alive

You are the one I searched for everywhere

Oh my love... you are my answered prayer
