Story Behind The Song
Basically it was a way of voicing my convictions, and a prayer in hopes of my remaining faithful to these convictions. Unfortunately, the marriage to "her" ended after 23 years! Boy does that ever rock your faith.

Lyrics
My love has become everything that I've dreamed of
I know that my dreaming must be only of her
For the heart of a man is so desperately wicked
I keep my heart close to hers.
In her eyes I see love there no finer
In her eyes when she is looking at me
And I know that I should will stay here beside her
For she is the girl for me
Now my children they know that their daddy does love them
He looks high above them for answers to show
Ah they each have their problems,
But they know God can solve them
Their daddy keeps telling them so
In their eyes I see love there no finer
In their eyes when they are looking at me
And I know that I will stay here beside them
The ones God has given me
INTERLUDE
Now the Lord's always done, everything that He's promised
Maybe not when I wanted, but at just the right time
And it's better by far, to obey than to question
Staying "nearer my God to Thee"
In His eyes I see, love there no finer
In His eyes when He is looking at me
And I know that I will stay here beside Him
Staying "Nearer my God to Thee".
