Analysis of Forever
Our love will last eternally
For God's love is much more
From eternity to eternity
He tied my life to yours.
Some speak of a soul mate
As if written in the stars,
But God decides love's fate;
His wisdom ours surpass.
How can we thus measure love
That God has put in place?
We look into the Book of life
Where God united us by grace
What God has joined together,
The bearer of our hearts,
Let no man make asunder,
Let no man break apart.
God has made the two as one.
It was his decision too,
A soul mate there is none
For God has joined me to you.
