Never Been Blesser
Folder:
Poetry of My Bahamian Origin At the beginning when this world first turned,
God had a plan for every seed we’d sow and earn.
Even through the heartbreak of a fall from grace,
He was guiding our footsteps ’til we found this place.
Now this moment is Holy truth,
A prophecy finally come to be—
’Cause you’re more than a woman, you’re my Ruth,
And Boaz is who I’ll always be.
When God said, “Make her room,”
I’d never been blesser—
Blesser!
When God made me your groom,
I’d never been blesser,
Blesser!
It’s more than a promise, more than tradition,
It’s a covenant of love, not just a religion.
It’s the Spirit that holds us, the faith that lifts,
The kind of union only heaven could gift.
This is your “for once in your life,”
Our ministry shining through the gloom—
You’re not just a woman, you’re my wife,
And forever I’ll stand as your groom.
When God said, “Set her aside,”
I’d never been blesser—
Blesser!
When God said, “Take your bride,”
I’d never been blesser,
Blesser!
Oh, when love is anointed,
When purpose is clear,
When God writes the story,
You’ve got nothing to fear.
And I know I’ve been favored,
I know I’ve been kept—
’Cause He gave me an angel
In the moment we met.
When God said, “She’s the one,”
I’d never been blesser—
Blesser!
When God said, “Your love’s begun,”
I’d never been blesser,
Blesser!
