Story Behind The Song

Wanted to find a way of expressing my amazement, before our honey-moon, of my new found relationship, one which has only grown better through the many years since then.

Song Description

Through all the wonder, the distraction, the intricacies of this world, you have brought me what is best and most valuable, and I am thankful.

Lyrics

Though worlds may rise and kingdoms fall,
And writers write their dusty works that fill the ivy-covered halls;
Though sunlight falls in splendor glad
Into a thousand peaceful frames of country life, of quiet ways;
Though P.C.s clack their absurd beats in finance rooms of deep steel flumes
Where flows the city's iron pulses;

Linda..., you came and gently touched my arm, and suddenly,
A world made new silently embraced us;
A world where all I see is you, your arms piled high with all the gifts you've brought me;
And found that I -- though barren, dry-- was once again made new.

Though days flip by like shuffling cards,
And hair turns white, and we all fight the ravage of advancing years;
Though children sprint through childhood bliss,
And soon they've left and we're bereft of chubby hugs and frothy kisses,
Though Creation waits for Him who liberates, who recreates
This world into a place made new;

Linda..., you took my hand and now we stand here silently,
With our faith renewed, our hearts full of assurance
That all we lost and left back there cannot compare with that which lies before us.
We find that we --though barren, dry-- are once again made new.
