Happy Birthday Sweet Wife!
September 6, 2011
At fifty – one, you’ve just begun
The second half of a century.
And though in part, we know in heart
The love of God and the mystery
Of Christ alone, as He we own
To be our Lord and Savior.
He is our Life. We are His wife,
And part of that which is greater
Than we can phathom, as every atom
Is under His sovereign control.
Oh what delight, before we take flight,
As others we seek to enroll
To know the joy, be humbly employed
In all that pertains to His glory;
His Spirit will guide, in Christ to abide,
The cause and effect of His story,
Until He comes, this race we will run
Or we enter His presence through death,
Till then loving more, as He we adore,
Oh praise Him for every new breath,
He gives as our King, as to Him we sing
The songs of the saints here on earth,
But then up in heaven, no longer with leaven,
The praises that show forth His worth!
