Loving You - Silver Jubilee Edition



The song I wrote for Vanessa 25 years ago for our wedding day has grown by yet another verse as we celebrate our Silver Jubilee Wedding Anniversary today.  These verses capture my love and our life at each milestone in our marriage as we have journeyed together to fulfill the vows we made as husband and wife...


Wedding Song


When I hold your hand
And look into your eyes,
I can’t help to reminisce
The days gone by.
For I see the Master’s plan
Has brought us hand in hand,
And I know His Spirit’s
Touched us with His love.

Loving you, holding you,
Has filled an empty place 
Within my life. 
Praise you Lord, thank you Lord, 
For giving me the one I truly love. 

Friends we were and are
And will for ever be.
We would laugh and cry and share
Each others dreams.
Lord, you took two separate lives,
With love you harmonised.
Now we’re joined together
By your precious love.

Loving you, holding you,
Has filled an empty place
Within my life.
Praise you Lord, thank you Lord,
For giving me the one
I truly love.

First Wedding Anniversary


As we celebrate
Our Anniversary,
I am thankful for your love
And company.
For I know within my heart
Our lives will never part,
While Jesus is the
Centre of our love.

Loving you, holding you,
Has filled an empty place
Within my life.
Praise you Lord, thank you Lord,
For giving me the one
I truly love.

Fifth Wedding Anniversary


You and I have shared
Our love these past five years,
Though we’ve faced some storms and shed
Some painful tears.
We have given God His place
And drawn upon His grace,
So we’ll stay committed
For eternity.

Loving you, holding you,
Has filled an empty place
Within my life.
Praise you Lord, thank you Lord,
For giving me the one
I truly love.

Birth of Children


We have come into
A new reality
As you’ve given birth to our
New family.
First, a precious little girl
Was born into this world,
Closely followed by a
Handsome baby boy.

Loving them, holding them,
Has given me a joy
I can’t explain,
Praise you Lord, Thank you Lord,
For this family of mine
That I’ve now gained.

Fifteenth Wedding Anniversary


Fifteen years ago
I gave to you my life,
On our wedding day when you
Became my wife.
I declared to you my love
Before the Lord above,
Which we celebrate on
This, our special day.

Loving you, holding you,
Has filled an empty place
Within my life.
Praise you Lord, thank you Lord,
For giving me the one
I truly love.

Twentieth Wedding Anniversary


For two decades now
We’ve lived each others dreams,
Which have filled our lives with joy
And memories.
There is nothing I would trade
For the life that we have made,
And the path the Lord has
Granted you and me.

Loving you, holding you,
Has filled an empty place
Within my life.
Praise you Lord, thank you Lord,
For giving me the one
I truly love.

Silver Jubilee Wedding Anniversary


On this day we mark
Our Silver Jubilee
Of the covenant between
You, God and me.
Now this journey God ordained
Has brought about a change
That has left our children
Far across the seas.

Loving you, loving them,
Has filled my life with joy
Throughout the years.
Praise you Lord, Thank you Lord,
For strengthening our faith
And family.
