Wrote this for our wedding, October 19, 1985!

This is supposed to be sung as a duet. The first verse deals with the couple, the second with the friends/family and their implicit support. The last verse deals with the Holy Sprit.

The Wedding Song

Verse #1: The couple
True Love, we're told, can seldom be found
So it's something that we all respect
You can find it sometimes by looking around
And sometimes you find it where you least expect

And it builds and it grows to a moment . . .
For us, that moment is NOW
It's a promise I have to make to my wife
A promise I'll keep for the rest of my life . . .

Chorus
That if ever the tears should darken our years
I'm here to tell ya we'll make it through
And whenever the smiles brighten our miles
i would be proud just to share them with you
Now I don't know if time will be easy or rough
-all I know is forever is never enough time
to make our dreams come true
And live and love the way that we do.

Verse #2: The friends
Well, you friends here are traveled for many a mile
To share with us this time today
And over the years you've taught us of life -
And given us far more than we can repay
And all we can offer to you
is a prayer for your safe journey home
And we offer a promise as husband and wife
- a promise we'll keep for the rest of our life . . .

Chorus
That if ever the tears should darken our years
We're here to tell ya we'll make it through
And whenever the smiles brighten our miles
We would be proud just to share them with you
Now we don't know if time will be easy or rough
-all we know is forever is never enough time
to make our dreams come true
And live and love the way that we do.

Verse #3: The Spriit
Now we're here to ask for a bless today
As we build our family and home.
And we'll build it with hard work -we'll build it with love
But Lord we simply can't build it alone
So we ask You to help us and guide us
As we move on from today.
And we offer this promise as husband and wife
- a promise we'll keep for the rest of our life . . .

Chorus
That if ever the tears should darken our years
We're here to tell ya we'll make it through
And whenever the smiles brighten our miles
We would be proud to share them with you
Now we don't know if time will be easy or rough
-all we know is forever is never enough time
to make our dreams come true
And live and love the way that we do.
