as humble as can be.
I ask you Lord to show me now
the man you have for me.
So long I’ve looked, out on my own,
but only once could find,
the man who filled my hopes and dreams,
a man so good and kind.
I hope there’s someone else for me,
and so I humbly wait,
But now it’s getting so hard Lord,
I pray it’s not too late
* * * * *
My flesh is weak, Lord
I long for comfort
I yearn for companionship
When will you send it?
When will you fill this void in my heart?
When will you cool this burn
that starts in my toes
and compasses every joint in my body?
When will you release me
from the bondages of loneliness?
Please, Oh God, hear me,
answer my cries;
I, alone, will wait.
* * * * *
Oh Lord I come before you now
as humble as can be.
I’ve laughed and cried all day and night,
and wondered could this be.
The one you took from me before,
returned from far away.
A missionary he has been,
but now he’s back to stay;
called to a local church in town
to be the pastor there.
And now I’ve heard, “a wife he needs”.
Is this the plan you’ve made?
* * * * *
Here I am Lord,
back where it all started.
You know I am weak,
yet, you sent me here.
She can’t be here still,
the girl I loved.
So sweet
So pure
So kind
So dear
Could it be, Lord?
Could she have waited?
I sha’nt hope for it
* * * * *
Oh Lord I come before you now,
as humble as can be.
I want to thank you for your love,
for helping me to see
that if I’d wait you’d send a man,
he’d be the perfect mate.
Although he knows not what I think,
I know he is my fate.
He looked at me, and in his eyes
I saw a love so kind.
A tenderness not there before,
a sweetness so divine.
I know You have a plan for us,
together we will stay;
in love forever we will be
until we’re called away.

I saw her, Lord
Her smile filled me with hope
Her eyes bore into my soul
Her smell reminded me of love
Can it be happening Lord?
Could the old flame
be ignited once more?
Is this what you meant for me?
* * * * *
Oh Lord I come before you now,
as humble as can be.
Once more I thank you for your love,
for answering my plea.
As I unite before my friends,
with the love of my life;
I ask you Lord to help me be
a loving, caring wife.
For so long now, I’ve yearned for this
and now the time is near;
I thank you Lord for sending him
the man I love so dear.
* * * * *
Oh, we rejoice, Oh Lord
We praise You.
We magnify Your Name.
We praise You for Your mercy, Oh God.
We thank You for the union that You made possible.
Together we will serve You.
Together we will lead the people.
Together we will raise a family;
All these things will we do in Your Name.
Thank You God, for your love.
Thank You for bringing us together.
Thank You for allowing us
to keep ourselves for each other.
In Your Name, we will continue to rejoice.
Amen

I think this poem could be even more beautiful and heart-moving if you added more imagery.
