With shaky knees and my old nervous grin
We stood before the Lord and all our friends
Your daddy cried a teardrop as he gave his girl away
I promised to keep lovin' you until my dying day

And what God has joined together let no one come between
Or try to put us under lovers building their dreams
The light that shines forever is now burning in our hearts
What God has joined together let no one ever part

Well that was several years ago today
And we walked some rocky roads along the way
But the Lord has helped us make it through the crazy ups and downs
And when we took the wrong road he turned us both around

What God has joined together...
[ mandolin ]
When the evening of our lives on earth is near
And our eyes grow weak and words are hard to hear
Well I pray the Lord is tender when he comes to call us home
And he lets us go together so we'll never be alone

What God has joined together...
What God has joined together let no one ever part
