I am your good thing


He who finds a wife, looks for a wife not for a girlfriend.
If you want to wife her up, no time for lust, just sit and listen.

He who finds a wife, gives Christ his life, 
So he can find her.


Years of patient waiting,
Cautiously not to awaken,

Love until the time was right.
To love her with the love of Christ.

He who finds a wife, who finds a wife, he finds her waiting,
Not wasting time, but serving Christ,
Not debating whether or not she should be dating,
Not looking for love in all the wrong places,
Not defined by her singleness or lack of a diamond ring.

He who finds a wife, who finds a wife, he finds her ready,
Awake with her oil lamp filled and burning.
He finds her on her knees, worshiping her King, her Creator God,
The one who made her and fashioned every part of her being.
She's beautiful, she's radiant, she's far above all he imagined and dreamed,
This groom stops, no more seeking, get to know her and lean in,
Patiently, not revealing his identity- he also kneels and worships his king.
Time unfolds as this love story begins to weave,
The pages of their separate journeys create a romance- seamless- a dream.
He gazes at her and knows that he's found her- it's real love sent from eternity.

Now is the time to call off his search, he sees her also as Christ sees the church.
It doesn't take long when your matchmaker is king- the great love story author.
If you want to find a wife he's the one you need to seek.


He who finds a wife, who finds a wife,

He who finds her- finds a good thing.


I am your wife, i am your wife, 

come find me- I am your good thing.

Quite something











Who are you? You're something I'd like to get to know.
There's a mystery in your voice.
It sounds familiar, it harmonizes with my core. 
Your smile triggers my smile- i lose control. 
You reach out to shake my hand, but I want to hold yours.
You're something, quite something I'd like to get to know.
Who are you? You're name I've never known.
But your eyes speak to my soul.
A conversation I'm not a part of.
May I be so bold,
To follow you into the other room?
May I be so bold,
To tell you that your something,
I'd like to get to know?
May I watch you from a distance,
And wait until I've discovered your mystery,
To say I'm in love with you?
Will my bravery be rewarded?
Will you let me wait?
Will you stay?
Hidden,
For me to uncover?
You're a hidden treasure.
You are something, 
Quite something, I'd like to get to know.

love, you are un-named, you have no phone.
you're a stranger, you are unknown.
but, please, just tell me 
this one thing and I'll be through:
quite something, who. are. you?

Time- we're through

I've had plenty of time
to write this petty rhyme
in love with you without me.

I've had plenty of time
to make up my mind
reasoning my sleepless dreaming.

I've had plenty of time
to collect a million dimes
for every thought i've gambled on you.

I've had plenty of time
to think of every reason why
no other love would ever do.

If time was mine i'd make you mine.

So I'm cashing in my dimes
I never meant to hurt you time, but

It's not me, it's you-
Time- we're through.
