Story Behind The Song
I actually spoke the hook line of the chorus to some lady friends of mine at a beauty pagent. They all sighed and said that my wife was lucky to have a guy that loved her so much. They said it was a sweet sentiment. So naturally I thought it would be a good song. Though the rest of the song is fictional I am from Baton Rouge.
Song Description
A man is at a Barbeque in Louisiana when he starts a conversation with a feminist that tries to convince him that God is a woman. The man interupts her and basically says that HIS wife is so beautiful that only a man could have created her.

Lyrics
Proof (That God is a Man)
At a barbeque in Baton Rouge
Talkin? to my son?s new wife
She speaks to me of equality
And protecting a woman?s rights
So I just listened
To every word she had to say
But when she told me God was a woman
I interrupted and said I don?t see it that way
If you ever wanted proof that God is a man
Take a look at my wife, I think you?ll understand
She?s an angel that he sent to me
And lord I believe
?cause when I whisper her name it?s like sayin? a prayer
And like the spirit in me she will always be there
She?s an angel that he sent to me
And lord I believe
Like the life I live what the good lord gives
I know that he could take
?cause when he gave that girl to me
He took my breath away
And just like me
With one look you?ll know it?s true
Now you may question your faith
But she will make a believer out of you
Chorus
Bridge:
When she calls out my name it?s like a heavenly choir
And a smile so perfect, it?s divinely inspired
Chorus
(Alternate line for ?Talkin? to my son?s new wife?
?Talkin? to a friend?s new wife?)
