love is more than a lover 

a wife is more than a ring 

drink all of your day's pleasure 

let it bring tomorrow;s sting 

a virgin's pride's gone out of style it seems 

but i say style's out of itself 



(chorus)

so don't let your wedding fade to gray 

don't let what'll be back then lead you astray 

for when we're no longer you and i 

but us my proverb doll 



a doll visits me in prayers 

her heart's your house, you're her first love 

she hangs on your everlasting word 

she hangs her picture in my mind's hall 



(chorus)



she's clothed in strength and dignity 

she laughs at days to come 

her love for Jesus is why she's beautiful to me 



(chorus)
