Verse 1 Back in nineteen ninety-five, on a Sunday afternoon, At Langley Christian Church beneath the Hampton summer moon, I walked through those doors like any other day, But God had different plans waiting there for me that day. You were laughing with your friends, shining like the morning sun, And there upon your forehead was a sticker just for fun, It said, "God Rules," simple words, but they changed my whole world too, The moment that I saw that smile, my heart belonged to you. Pre-Chorus I didn't know the journey, I didn't know the years, Didn't know the blessings hidden through the laughter and the tears. Chorus 'Cause God rules, and love grows, Like a river where His mercy flows, From Hampton, Virginia, to the life we built today, He wrote our story line by line in His amazing way. November twenty-second, nineteen ninety-seven, we began, May twenty-second, two thousand, He joined our hearts and hands. And after all these years, girl, it's still the same old truth, I fell in love that day, and I'm still falling for you. Verse 2 We spent those dating years learning what forever meant, Trusting God to guide us through each season that He sent. Every dream and every prayer brought us closer to the day, When we stood before our families and gave our vows away. May twenty-second came around, the year two thousand bright, And I still remember seeing you in white that night. The world could have stood still and I wouldn't have cared at all, Because heaven touched the earth when I watched you walk that hall. Pre-Chorus And every year that's followed has only made it clear, The greatest gift God gave to me is standing right here. Chorus 'Cause God rules, and love grows, Like a river where His mercy flows, From Hampton, Virginia, to the life we built today, He wrote our story line by line in His amazing way. November twenty-second, nineteen ninety-seven, we began, May twenty-second, two thousand, He joined our hearts and hands. And after all these years, girl, it's still the same old truth, I fell in love that day, and I'm still falling for you. Bridge Twenty-six years of marriage and my heart still skips a beat, When I hear your voice call my name from across the room to me. Through every mountain, every storm, every blessing we've come through, I've seen God's faithfulness reflected in you. The sticker's long since faded, but the message still remains, God rules above our story and His goodness never changes. Final Chorus 'Cause God rules, and love grows, Stronger than either of us knows, From Langley Christian Church to wherever life may lead, You've always been God's answer to a prayer I didn't speak. And if I had one lifetime more, I'd choose the same road too, I'd walk right through those church doors and fall in love with you. Yeah, I'd walk right through those church doors and fall in love with you. Outro A sticker on your forehead... A promise from above... "God Rules"... and that's the day He gave me my true love.
