WHEN GOD GAVE YOU ME

Listen to the song

2010 - I wrote this song to my wife for our 2nd anniversary and played it for her for the first time while we were enjoying a weekend together in Oceanside. It was a total surprise and she was very happy with it. I remember the idea came to me while I was getting ready for work one morning. I scribbled down a few words and had a rough melody idea in mind. Later when I worked on it in my studio at the house we were renting on Oak Creek Drive, it came together really quickly and easily.

Connie loves to tell the story of how we were just friends and during a Superbowl party at my house, the Lord told her that I was going to be her husband. That's where I got the notion for "when God gave you me". Later that same night I had called her and asked her if anything felt different and she told me about it. We decided to wait forty days and pray on it then begin a courtship. So the words are all true and briefly tell the story of our beginnings. To this day it's hard to play it without getting choked up!

WHEN GOD GAVE YOU ME
Words and music by Reggie Michaud © 2010

When God gave you me to be your man
Neither you or I could see His perfect plan
But you caught my eye and heard Him speak
You chose to place your heart in His hands

I still can see on February 3 
Sitting on my couch with you across from me
You moved in close I warmed your feet
The Superbowl has never been so sweet

We sang Sweetly Broken my guitar was strumming
Others too were joining in but all I saw was you
And as the world was turning our hearts began to plan
When God gave you me to be your man

When God gave me you to be my wife
To have and to hold to keep for all my life
I promised to protect and hold onto your hand
And we took our first step into the Promised Land

And now we sing together 2 years into forever
Others smile upon our love but all I see is you
And as the page is turning excitement fills my life
When God gives me you to be my wife

When God gives me you to be my wife
