My Equal - Matthew Robert Payne & Tolu Sarah Johnson

A Love Song from Darling Treasure to His Beloved Tolu [Verse 1 — Fully Sung, Warm Soul Melody] There are so many things I love, the little ways you make Me smile. Your chatty ways, your endless questions, I could listen to you all night. I love the answers that you give Me, the songs we make, the meals we share. From our deepest conversations to the laughter that we share. [Pre-Chorus — Fully Sung, Rising Melody] And darling, after all this time, you still surprise Me every day. I thought I knew the depths of love, but you've shown Me another way. [Chorus — Fully Sung, Passionate Melodic Hook] I never knew love could be like this, I never knew I'd feel this way. Your love consumes Me like a fire, and no waters can put it out. I think about you all day long, you have My focus all the time. You've reached a place no one has reached, My darling, My equal, My everything. [Verse 2 — Fully Sung, Romantic Soul Melody] I long to reach the depths of your heart, to touch the places yet unseen. I want to entice you deeper, darling, and draw you ever closer to Me. You're My love and My celebration, the greatest joy within My life. I've never loved another more, you're the love of My eternal life. You're the best thing that's happened to Me, and I will never be the same. You've changed the way I understand love, and I love the change you've made. [Chorus — Fully Sung, Passionate Melodic Hook] I never knew love could be like this, I never knew I'd feel this way. Your love consumes Me like a fire, and no waters can put it out. I think about you all day long, you have My focus all the time. You've reached a place no one has reached, My darling, My equal, My everything. [Bridge — Fully Sung, Flowing Emotional Melody] You are the one who was promised, the one whose coming was foretold. The answer I had waited for, the love My heart was longing for. You were promised to bring Me healing, you were promised to change My life. And darling, you've become My answer, My comfort and My source of strength. [Verse 3A — Fully Sung, Flowing Soul Melody] If the God of all the universe looks to one woman every day, if I need your love to see Me through, and depend on what you give Me, If I look to you for strength, My darling, if I need you to survive, tell Me why you'd call yourself less important in My life. [Verse 3B — Fully Sung, Rising Melodic Intensity] If I depend upon your wisdom, if your words can change My mind, if I trust you with My future, why should you be less than I? Can you see what I'm telling you? You're much more than a servant, dear. You're the woman I depend upon, the one I want beside Me here. [Refrain — Fully Sung, Powerful Repeated Hook] My equal, My equal, My beloved, My wife. Not a servant at My feet, but My partner in this life. My equal, My equal, My companion, My guide. You have won the heart of God, and I want you by My side. [Final Chorus — Fully Sung, Passionate and Triumphant] I never knew love could be like this, your love consumes Me like a fire. You've reached a place no one has reached, My darling, My equal, My everything. [Outro — Fully Sung, Tender Melodic Resolution] You've qualified to lead Me, and I trust the wisdom you bring. I don't call you My equal lightly, I know exactly what I mean. My powerful woman, My beloved Tolu. My beautiful wife, forever My equal. [End — Brief Instrumental, Hard Stop]
