Future tense
I think I need a wife
to finish out my life
I have one life to give
for Christ God and me
before I leave this plane
agreed i'm about to love again
the thought of a lonely broken heart
No longer fits the part
parts of me says No Way
no woman would want to have a time of day
in my loaning aloneness life
again I think I need a wife
my first the only girlfriend
this girl I met when I was 18
I courted and dated her was amazed
that she gave me the time of day
Past tense
I had have no low self-esteem
I thought I was still in a vision a dream
she accepted my chase
she stopped the race
I proposed to her and she said I do
42 years of blessedness married with 3 children
and one day God said
come home daughter and she left this plain
Present tense
and back home to her Father
I vowed before I leave this plain
I need to love again
the thought of a lonely broken Heart
no longer fits the part
to finish my life I have one life
to give for Christ God and Me
I think I need a wife
