Lily (Floriana)

[Verse 1]
She lived in South
I lived in North Philly
Her name means flower, she is the Lord's lily
She’s everything in a woman I could ever desire
But that’s a small thing compared to Yahweh’s treasure inside her
Like not just beautiful features but unusual meekness
With His image in you I see the beauty of Jesus
My name you shared as Brindle
I was appearing gentle
You said I do, no idea what you was getting into
We brought our baggage in, our backpacks of sin
Dumped them on the table, wondered if they’d ever have an end
He gave me you in marriage, then pretty soon we’re parents
I nearly ruined our union, who's able to repair this?
I almost lost you; it was my fault, too
The pain it cost you; I've been so hostile
I almost lost you, but what did God do?
To restore us the Lord just showed us His gospel
(Gospel) [x7]

[Verse 2]
But He won't let me or you or anyone tear us apart
'Cause it’s His marriage; isn’t this what He declared at the start?
You didn’t proceed to just leave me, regardless how people see me
For His mercy you said we are both equally needy
So we proclaim this aloud:
If you’ve felt pain from your spouse, you're as depraved and defiled
But His grace it abounds
And His grace is enough
Judgment’s taken for us
'Cause on the cross Jesus was forsaken and crushed
When your soul beholds these riches
His great grace for you becomes your soul’s fuel for forgiveness
So Floriana and I of course declaring this
The gospel’s sufficient to restore our marriages

(Our marriages) [x5]
