UNITY

The Body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts, and though all the parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. For we were baptized by one Spirit, into one body 1 Corinthians 12: 12-13. We as Christians are united by this. We serve for the glory of the Lord. And as Christian we must stand together in support and love for one another.

United We Are

One hand

one heart

one soul

It's you who keeps me whole

Two feet

Two eyes

One path

It's you who carries me from where danger lies

One life

one world

one Creator

It's you I adore

One Spirit

One Father

One Son

It's Your will to be done

Forever and always

United we will be with

One mind

One body

One heart

Awaiting a fresh start

That only you can give

7 Candles

Candles are beautiful. I love them. I love to stare at their flame as it flickers. I love what they often represent. Tonight I light 7 candles because Jesus is my light. As long as my light is forever I can get through anything life throws at me.

7 Candles

I light a candle of repentance

As I kneel to pray for deliverance

and pray for Him to shed some light

on my messed up day

I ended my day in darkness like the night

I must now confess before I sleep all the sins I do keep

I light a candle for forgiveness

for all the sins I do confess

Conviction is near

The Lord's wrath I do fear

I am truly sorry for all I've done

I light a candle for mercy and grace

Even though I do sin

His anger holds no place

His love will conquer all

and He will catch me when I fall

I light a candle for hope

as I begin a new day

in hopes My Lord will pave my way

as I travel down the road to serve

and that He'll guide me around each curve

I light a candle for faith

that my daily bread He will bring

filled with His strength and wisdom for my day

and to Him praises I will forever sing

I light a candle for love

A love so grand

that it can only come from God's Mighty Hand

May it be forever flowing

into our hearts and forever will this candle stay glowing

I light a candle in remembrance

of my second chance

For God so loved the world He sent is only son

so that His will could be done

We are loved and free

Keep this candle flame within our hearts

burning forever

and He will be there with us throughout each and every endeavour.

John 8:12When Jesus spoke to the people again he said "I am the light of the world, Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life"

Protect Our Children

 Today's poem is all about taking care of our children and raising them to know The Lord and enjoy the blessings he gives. There are many fine things in this world that any child would love to have. But the blessings we receive from The Lord should be their first desire. We spend too much time giving them worldly things in hopes they will be happy. Is it really truly what they need or want. How many times do you as a parents come across a game or book or anything that you remember doing as a child and wish you could do it again. Well I know a lot of us are more frail and can't do cartwheels. but when was the last time you put everything down played like you were a kid again. That's what our children need to see us do. They need to see mom, dad, grandma, grandpa auntie, uncle turn into a kid again. Not forever but just for a moment. We are after all God's children so why can't we act like one just for a moment? Go ahead jump in that puddle, slide down that slide, play tag or hide and seek. If we want children to grow up strong we need to set the example. By praying, playing, speaking, walking, laughing, learning, forgiving, repenting this is how our children will get the most out of life. And who knows ya might have fun yourself. So stop growing up, let God guide you, play with that jar of play doh but most of all embrace the life of your child. Show them it's okay to be young, then teach them how to stay young while getting old. Protect them from the worldly things that take away their innocence. 

Protect God’s Children We Must

Hands held, smiles on

The children are out for the day

Their only care is what to play

Come on now let’s take a peek

They are just about to play hide and seek.

So curious and adventurous

Carefree and spirited

Nothing seems to let them down

Yet somewhere along the way

they become lost and leave it all behind

Forgetting where to turn when in a bind

Try we must to bring them home

For some feel it’s too late

And choose a different fate

So curious and adventurous

Carefree and spirited

Nothing seems to let them down

Let’s hold hands, across the lands

Spread our smiles for miles

Bow and pray for our children

In hopes they will stay

Where they can frolic and play

So curious and adventurous

Carefree and spirited

Nothing seems to let them down

Sounds simple enough

All that protecting and stuff

Obedience can only come when we

Ourselves heed this advice

When we are lost and start to roam

Who is there to bring us home

So curious and adventurous

Carefree and spirited

Nothing seems to let them down

Our Lord will be there with open arms

Stand firm in the Lord

For His strength we can afford

His umbrella is large and protects us all

Just need to tear down the wall

So curious and adventurous

Carefree and spirited

Nothing seems to let them down

We must lift up our children

To the Lord in hopes He’ll bless and protect them

Knowing our children are sheltered by the Lord

Is but only half our battle.

 showing our children the way

 is a command we must embrace

each and every day

^Mathew14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Forever Flowing

I had posted this before under another poem but felt it had more effect if it stood alone. So I tweaked it a bit and here it is again. You never have to wonder when The Lord will pour out his Love for us. We just have to reach up and ask because it's forever flowing and ready for us.

Forever Flowing

Today I reach my hand up high

To the Father in the sky

I wait patiently

For His love to be poured so gently

On to me

I hold it tight

Through the night

Until the next tomorrow

then I reach my hand out to a friend

To spread His love cause it keeps no end

His love it flows forever

 forever shall I reach up high

For my daily shower 

of My Lord’s power

It is with this I am cleansed

And ready to see what’s round the bend

That my Majesty has planned for me

His love is here to take hold and

Spread like the crimson red that trickled 

Down from within 

Our Lord and Saviour Jesus 

to deliver us from evil and sin

So I will reach my hand up high

In hopes my cup He will

Overfill

My Lord’s love is forever flowing.

Come be filled.

1 Chronicals 16:34Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Great recipe for daily bread

A recipe for your daily bread. Yes I decided to have a little fun and go a different route. This is a recipe like no other. Give it a try I'm sure you'll be coming back for more!   

Daily Bread

Begin first by opening your bible to your favourite verse or try: 

1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and 

will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

While reading, mix together these ingredients

1 bushel of sin

2 quarts of confession

2 litres of repentance

1 tub of forgiveness

1 gallon of mercy

Cream it all together. Be sure to beat the lumps out of sin until smooth

Set aside and mix the next 4 ingredients while reading:

 2 Corin. 6:6 in purity, understanding, patience, and 

kindness in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love.

3 cups of kindness

3 cups of caring

3 cups of patience

3 cups of love

Combine the 1st and 2nd mixture while you read this scripture: 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Gal 5:22-23

Drizzle over top:

1 cup of truth

1 cup of faith

1 cup of hope

Rise once with a Blessing

Allow reshaping to take place

Then Rise a second time with a Prayer(Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.

Bake with an AMEN until golden and warmed through

Serve in Bountiful slices to all who ask

Be sure to repeat this Daily for the freshest results!

Jesus declared:I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes will never go thirsty Mathew 6:35.

My Special Little Sister

Our children are so vulnerable to so much now a , bullying, peer pressure, social expectations. It's a hard world for them to grow in. It is this reason that we feel more joy when one of our children turns to God. A short time ago a young daughter of a friend made that leap of faith and was baptized the same day I was. I was so thrilled to share in this moment with her. I wrote her this little poem to show her how special she truly is.

For My Special Little Sister

There is a special girl

For Christ she gives a whirl

Dedicated and devoted

Her young faith will be truly noted

While most are drooling over hair doos and shoes

She sets her sights for a prize

More cosmic in size

For the Lord has called her name

And she did obey

Many were in dismay

This special girl held true to his words

Up on the podium poised like a bird,

 She delivered to all 

Her message of obedience

For the Lord of beauty and radiance

In hopes He’d pour down on her 

Some of that heavenly myrrh

That more people need to feel

My dear special little sister

Received the best part of the deal

As I stood there to greet her when all was done

I knew the Holy Spirit had surely come

Through her eyes we see

The power that be

Here for the taking as long as we ask

Praise the Lord for the innocence of this child

May we look to her before going WILD!

1 Timothy 4:12Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

OASIS

Every Wednesday morning at my church there is a women's coffee hour. It's time for worship, fellowship, bible study and bascially just a break from the hustle and bustle of our week. One day I thought I'd put the experience into a poem. I haven't been able to attend this group for awhile now. I sure do miss all my sisters. This is for them. This mid week group gives us the feeling of  our Oasis in our stressful or dry week.

OASIS

Week to week

Young and old

Our Saviour’s hands we do hold

Our heads up high to worship

He who’s in the sky

Hearts are open, sharing

Spiritual hunger is what we seek

Our weekly rendezvous is perfect

When things seem bleak

Pull up a chair

Fill up a cup

Let the Lord come

Take your worries and lift you up

For it’s refreshment hour

Where the women gain their power

To fight the evil one

Let the Lord’s work be done

Come sneak away to an OASIS

That will leave you filled with Heaven’s Bliss

Open your hearts and souls to the

Glory belonging to the Lord

Praise the Lord for our meeting place

Where the women meet and learn of His Grace

For because of Him we are Free

Now ain’t that the right place to be?

Hebrews 10:24-25And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hope for Tomorrow?

I choose to live with this hope and it helps to make my tomorrows better. What about you?

Better Tomorrows

For better tomorrows 

Sometimes we must feel some sorrows

Sometimes it is what we don’t like to feel

That is the best part of the deal

Some choose to ignore the message in a tragedy

So they turn and flee

To a world so dark and glum

It’s easy to lose hope

And to think what’s done is done

We tell ourselves to push aside the memory

Forgetting all too well 

That forever in our hearts it will dwell

Thus ignoring the joys that do come from sorrows

We’ve been given this promise 

Of complete Heavenly bliss

All we need to do is reach up to Heaven

With our hearts 

And ask the Lord Jesus in our lives be part

For through Him comes hope and healing

Now does that not sound appealing?

So why wallow in pity and sorrow

When you can have Hope 

For a peaceful better tomorrow.

Psalm 89:15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence Lord.

My Journey?

Most of us spend a lot of time, pondering what our purpose here on Earth is. Some never know it, some ignore it and some embrace. Myself, I've travelled a very bumpy, windy, painful, up and down kind of hill most of my life. I travelled this till about 5 years ago then started looking for ways to travel down a new one. I found one 3 years ago. No I'm on the best journey of my life, down the road that was made for me. I pray that one day you'll find your road too.

My Earthly Journey

A twisty, windy, hilly road

T’is what I’ve always trod 

In search of a meaning to my life on Earth

I’ve searched in the lowest of low places

In the highest of highs

Just to find what’s for me below those skies

What shall my purpose be, 

The Lord hath planned for me?

T’is said He’s named a purpose for every soul

So then what be my goal?

Tell me dear Lord

Where is the road to Your Humble Abode?

How shall I travel there?

Whom will I meet along the way?

You shower me with blessings everyday

You are so good to me

So then where shall I go now?

Extend me Your hands and walk with me

Lead me and I will follow

For You are the Light that guides me through.

Psalm 119:105 your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Thank you for being a friend

In life there are many people that we encounter that in different degrees. Some help us for but a moment, others stay with us from childhood to adulthood. God knows who we need in our lives to meet our needs and people who need us to help them. I've had many friendships, acquaintances , co workers, neighbours that have come in and out of my life numerous times. Very few have stayed true, but there are a select few who have really made a difference in my life and really are genuine about our friendship. God knows who they are and what purpose they have in my life. Life gets busy and we forget about each other. Years ago I had written to my friends I was leaving behind when I was going away to college. Now almost 23 years later I have rewritten a good portion of it. There are many new friends in my life now and some faithful older friends. To these wonderful gifts/friends, from our Heavenly Father, I thank you for being my friend. This is also to honour the birthday of one of my oldest and dearest friends who ended her battle with cancer just a few years ago  now(June 8, 2015). 

Love ya Donna and I know you'll remember when I wrote this. 

Till we meet again....

Thank you For Being a Friend

I am as blessed as blessed can be
To have this beautiful gift sent to me
To my friend I want to say

A Ring is round and has not an end

This is how long I’ll be a friend

We sail through ups and downs

And know each other by heart

It hurts when we're apart

I am as blessed as blessed can be

to have such a gift sent to me

We seem as inseparable as can be

Always there when we need

 even when we’d rather flee

There will be a time when we must part our ways

It will be sad, 

I pray our friendship stays

As true as when it was new

but if our hearts belongs to our Lord

I know that together forever we can remain

No matter the borders

No matter the mountains in our way

As long as friendship is filled with the Lord

We will be together again someday.

I am as blessed as blessed can be

To have such a gift sent to me.

God sends us friends to help us on our way

Friends to remind us to keep our faith and trust

Friends to cry on if we must

Friends who love and care

And stand beside us when we are stripped bare

I am blessed as blessed can be 

To have such a gift sent to me.

Thank you friend for all you are

Thank you friend for staying with me whether we were near or far

Thank you friend

for being there until our end

I am blessed as blessed can be

To have such a gift sent to me. 

Happy 40th West Highland!

One of the best things about turning 40 tomorrow is I am also sharing this 40th birthday with my church West Highland Baptist Church. We are celebrating 40 years together. In honor of the 40 th celebrations I had written a poem about the church and it's growth over 40 years. Tonight I had the pleasure of sharing this with everyone who attended the Anniversary Banquet. I now would like to share this with everyone. Happy Anniversary to the a great church, I am proud to say I belong to. May God Bless West Highland Baptist Church with 40 more years plus many more of many many blessings! 


40 Years of West Highland
Listen folks to the tale I have for you
that started back in 1972
with a group one day 
that came to pray
for the spiritually lost,
to build them a place
to learn of the Lord's Grace
And so it began in October 72 
at Westwood School
Is that not cool?
Shortly after it was Pastor Baxter who took the lead
to over see every spiritual need
and still they grew
The group needed more space to keep the crowd merry
they began to meet at Terry Berry
and still they grew
They prayed He'd know what to do
And the Lord to them He told
build a church at Garth and Lime ridge Road 
the ground was broke in late 74
but the church did not open it's door
until June 1975
When West Highland came alive!
And still they grew.
After a small debate in 78
Pastor Smith came on board
and following direction from the Lord
brought Ministries and classes
to the masses.

Now in 1982 to meet West Highland’s ever changing list
A new Pastor was called to serve
And in came Pastor Lambert Baptist.
Pastor Lambert took West Highland round a curve
And still they grew
With new classes on how to serve
More people came to worship
Then it was time to move to a place more hip
High and grand 
Is where West Highland must stand
In 1987, a gift from Heaven,
The building in which we now meet
Opened its doors to one thousand at least
And still they grew
In 1994 Pastor Lambert could stay no more
His call was to be of service in a land far away
But the church members would not go astray
Still 3 years more
 From 1997 to 2004 
Then in came Pastor Bartlett to take the lead
And cover West Highland’s every need, 
And still they grew
With lots more of the Lord’s work planned 
Pastor John Mahaffey came on board with his own vision in sight 
In early 2008 with great delight
He helped the office relocate to St. Elizabeth Village
Which opened up the space for any age 
To learn of God’s Amazing Grace
It was here that Vision 20/20 came to face.
In hopes to make The Word Fully Known
So now my tale is done
Let’s celebrate as we anticipate
The next branch of His plan
Where ever You take Pastor John and the West Highland clan,
Lord, I pray our church stays strong and true to You!
Thank You Lord for the call to the original group in 1972!

Simply put...T'was on that Cross

 May your Easter and Passover be filled only with God and his gifts. God Bless You all!

This one is short, sweet and simple. There is no need for a long intro. Just simply read, you'll get it.

Twas on that Cross

T’was on that cross He loved us most

Through the pain and anguish He endured upon that post

You and I are free all for the price of one

Never thought this could be done!

Who would ever be so kind 

As to leave my sins behind

How do I repay such a gift?

A hundred thousand thank you’s are just not enough

Guess I’m just going to have to trust the Lord with my stuff

Cause there is no other who deserves it more

Forever am I grateful for the One

Who endured it all for me.

Hebrews 13:12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood.NIV

Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole" NIV

Praises

The Lord is so good. He does things that none of us can explain, understand or accomplish ourselves. When you really put your mind to it and believe you will see the differences He can make. I am forever grateful for what He has brought me through and is bringing me through now. I can't wait to see what He does for me as time goes one. Today this is for the Lord in praise for all He IS!

Praises

Sinful are we born

Our hearts quickly worn

Evil lurks near

Yet we still do not fear

What’s it going to take

To love the One nailed to the cross

How many chains will hold us down

Before we face the crown

our heads hung low

with all the sins we know

forgiveness waits for us

so why all the fuss

Our Lord is merciful and wise

A true advisor above the skies

He’s forever been there for us

Just have to ask

Surrendering our hearts is a big task

But with our Lord can be done

Stretch our arms in praise to Heaven

For all He’s given

Take hold of His offer for

Eternal life and peace

Salvation and forgiveness are at our reach

Praise the Lord when life is a beach

Any other choice would be absurd

So lose yourself in his word

Let our sins be nailed to the cross

As we enjoy freedom from our Boss!

AMEN!

Heaven's best dressed?

I have never been a shopper. Some might say my fashion sense is pretty poor. But I have never really given it much thought. I don't follow fashion trends. I am most comfortable in jeans and tees, jogging pants and sweatshirts. There is a time for dresses and frilly things. To me it all doesn't matter. To some it's a big deal. I remember a friend who had to look just right just to come across the street to my house. It's meaningless to me. I am simple, I wear pretty much no make up 95% of the time. That's me take it like it is. I got to thinking one day about all the nonsense to do with the commercialism of it all, the pressures young people have today about how they look and what they wear. It's actually pretty sad. Then it came to mind, there is only one type of clothing I seek and desire for. This one I must have no doubt about it. I can live without many things but this gown is a must have! Do you agree?

Our Heavenly Cloak

Sifting through clothes of all shades and hues

What designer is in the news

To wear white all year 

will give someone a fright

judgment all the time

some clothes we wear can be a crime

lives are started in the nude

but as we grow we turn rude

in our search for the best garment of all

only to find what we seek

is barely enough for the meek

Garments fit for the King is in 

what we should be dressed

A garment white as snow

would be perfect for all don't you know

This is the gown I do seek

As I wait for a my prince to arrive

I must do all that I can while I'm alive

to prepare to wear this gown

For my prince will come down

And whisk me away to his palace in the sky

So glamour up if you must

But me I’d rather not 

For these fashion rules, my prince, they disgust

Come as you are goes oh so far.!

To wear white all year gives me delight!

Revelation 3:4-5Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not sorted their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white for they are worthy. He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.

A Prayer and Blessing for Thanksgiving! Edited

This is my prayer and blessing for all my friends and family close and far.  Even though Thanksgiving day isn't actually until Monday, most people gather and celebrate on Sunday. What better day to gather with family and celebrate and give thanks on the Lord's day. So to everyone even those who don't celebrate Thanksgiving day until November, this is my blessing and prayer for you.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY! Please eat responsibly and always save room for pumpkin pie!

Thanksgiving Blessing and Prayer

Father in Heaven, Thank you for the earth on which we roam
Thank you for the land on which we build our homes
Father, Thank you for the morning light
and the moon that gives light to the night
Father in Heaven, Thank you for the creatures big and small
for in some ways they are a blessing to us all

In these days when the air is cold,
it warms me through to know Your heart is pure like gold
It's over flowing love surrounds us like a glove
I am filled with joy and peace as I set my table here
and hope for my family and friends as they draw near
on this fine fall day
this blessing I will ask if I may

Lord, today I pray for peace and tranquility
in the hearts of all my friends and family
May you bless each heart with a perfect helping
of grace and healing
Serve up a delightful side of compassion and forgiveness
and please don't don't forget to top it off with and good scoop of mercy
Open all the eyes with hope and humble pies
then tuck into each heart a cup of Heaven's perfect tea
and lay each one down to rest with a careful touch of your joy and admiration
Please pour this blessing onto every nation
near and far
to remind us all we are here because of who You are
Thank you Lord for giving us the one 
so our sins could be undone.
May we always put our trust and faith in you
in everything we do
May we seek your blessing each and every day
and not just on Thanksgiving Day.
AMEN

Lilies

Up here in this part of the world, Easter Lilies tend to be in bloom only in the spring around "Easter". Or so I thought. Well back in 2010 I had kept the bulbs from an Easter Lillies to plant. They following summer I was given a most beautful surprise. My Easter Lillies came into full bloom exactly the same afternoon I had had some prayer counselling. I've never seen this type of lilies outside of the Easter/Spring Season. To me it was comforting, as thought a sign from the Lord that I'll be alright.

Mysterious Lilies

As I gazed out my window the other day

Something peculiar caught my sight

Oh what a delight!

Three Easter Lilies they were

Oh what marvels standing so tall and strong

But why are they here

For in the spring is when they bloom?

It’s not their time of year

So why I wonder?

Why have these beautiful blooms been placed here?

In my garden?

I Believe in Our Creator who stops at none

Until His work is done.

He’ll trim every branch

Bloom every bud until the splendor of His magnificence comes through

So then this is the mystery of my lilies

This simply was His reminder that 

He the Lord is with me in every season

Now that’s an awesome reason.

Luke 12:27 Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

True Friends

I've had many friends throughout my life, most of which have moved on and only give me a call once in a blue moon. There are some of those friends that even though we went our separate ways we found our way back to each other. These are true friends. I've also met new friends in the past few years that are more than just friends they are brothers and sisters and I value them very much. So to all my friends, past present and future here is a little something for you.

True Friends

They are there when I need

There when I don’t

Special blessings sent to me 

to help do good deeds

They love me when I’m happy

They love me when I’m down

And even when I’m grumpy

And have a frown

Friends are here to teach

But not to preach 

Friends are little blessings in disguise

For those rainy days with dark skies

Friends stick by you in times of hurt and sorrow

They sometimes have thoughts you’ll need to borrow

Thoughts to help you through those times

I have but a few of these

But it’s all I need

 With this circle of friends and 

The Lord at our side

The possibilities will never end

True friends are treasures to hold up high

For the ones not so true will always pass you by.

1 Samuel 18:1,3After David finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David. He loved him as himself….Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.

A Little Marriage Blessing

As it was approaching a faimly wedding I sat down to write a special blessing to the happy couple and came up with this. I also then wrote one for the couple themselves, but I'll save that for another day. So many of us get married but don't always have the blessing of Our Father. After all shouldn't the Father bless the union first?

Today You Marry

In this world are two souls

Who are destined to be one

We make ourselves crazy

Finding the right one

Few think they do

But end up alone

Then there is the two of you

You have found your way 

Through all the sea of searching souls

to match from Heaven

A whole new start is on your doorstep

The possibilities are endless

Love the Lord 

For your union He will bless

He will fill your hearts more times than you’ll know

With blessings at home or on the go

Just listen for His guidance

He’ll take you a distance

Only He will know

Cherish one another

Respect each other

Have faith in your partner

And our Lord God above

For He will be with you

All stops on the way

Congratulations for finding your way,

 to your best friend.

Ephesians5:25-28Husbands love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. To make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word and to present her to himself as a radiant church without stain, wrinkle or any other blemish but hold and blameless

8 years and counting

Last month of September 11 it marked my 8th wedding anniversary for my husband and I. We didn't have much to give gift wise so I wrote this for my husband as a gift to him. 

This Day Our 8th Forever and for Always

Eight years ago I married my best friend

and pledged there'd be no end

Twas then a fire in me lit

from a tiny spark

that turned my world from dark

we seemed a perfect fit

life moved quick

and pulled us through thin and thick

it tested us till we were weary

but through it all when I got teary

you were there

You were there just for a smile

or to push me that mile

you were here then and now

not sure how

but we've made it through

God brought me to you for reasons unknown

but hear me when i say

He blessed our union on this day

and promised to let us be together forever

and in the power of prayer

i believe He has remained true

to me and you

So as I remember our pledge on that day 8 years ago

forever in your arms I'll always feel

how much you want me

Forever in your heart I'll always hear a beat for every kiss you give

Forever in your eyes I'll always see the look of the one loves me

I pray you'll do the same

I said then and I say it now

I'm keeping you forever and for always!
