Build Your Marriage On Jesus!

As a child, in church, I was raised.

I was taught the Bible and God’s ways.

At an early age, I invited Jesus in.

Learning what was right

and what was sin.

I looked up to my parents! I really did!

I was so proud of the way they lived.

They were the world to me! I was so proud.

Then one day there appeared

a very dark cloud.

This cloud hovered over my parents,

whom I loved so dear.

Soon the ugly face of divorce

would appear.

I prayed for them! I desperately tried.

The many nights I laid awake and cried.

How could this happen? I often wondered.

To have a wonderful marriage

so utterly plundered.

A sin crept in and was allowed to prevail.

Soon this marriage began to fail.

Let this be a warning to me and to all.

Playing with sin will cause us to fall.

If your life is heading

toward a separation…

Build your marriage on Jesus!

A solid foundation!
