Letras: Kim Burrell. Everlasting Life. It's Not Supposed To Be This Way.

Many marriages are being destroyed by Domestic abuse, infidelity, oppression on
the job and in the home. Somewhere along the line, married couples seem to have lost focus and strayed away from what God created. I'm here to tell you, its really not supposed to be this way.

Its not supposed to be, be this way.
Don't you know it wasn't meant to be
this way. We're living the wrong vision,
lost sight of God's intention. I'm telling
you, it wasn't meant to be this way.

In the beginning, God made a man. The
man was lonely, so then God's plan was
To make a woman, so they can be together Forever happily, that's how its supposed to be.

Its not supposed to be, be this way.
Don't you know it wasn't meant to be
this way. Reality! We're living the wrong vision, lost sight of God's intention. I'm telling you, it wasn't meant to be this way.

The Bible says "A Man that findeth a
Wife, Findeth a Good thing". FINDETH
A GOOD THING! If you have a good
thing, hold on to her. Love her like
yourself; unselfish and unconditional

Life's so blind. Life's so blind.Oh what
a joy you'll find. If you have God in your
marriage. With God inside you can
conquer anything....

God ordained marriage and the devil
hates the very sound of it. But if you
have Christ in your life, you can
defeat the devil! Let me encourage you...

"Wives when you done all you can to
make a happy home and your husband
still raises his hand, have respect for
yourself and tell that devil No, I'm not
taking anymore abuse from you, I'm
the Lord's child". It wasnt meant to be
this way. Wives when your husband
lose his job and the bills are due, don't
discourage him, encourage him. Get
together and pray. Pray together, you'll
stay together. Now that's the way its
supposed to be. Oh'

I've got to go a little deeper...

Husbands and wives, when that man or
that woman, that keeps calling your house and hanging up in your face, before you jump to conclusions. You need to get down on your knees until the Lord shows you what to do. He knows whats best for you.

Husband and wives, when the spirit of
depression come into your house and
the devil tells you to turn your back on
God...Tell that lying devil "As for me
and my house, we're gonna serve the
Lord". Thats how its supposed to be!

I know that these things happen, its a
part of our everyday life. I'm telling you
we lost sight of God's intention. Its
really not supposed to be this way. No!
