My Wedding Day

It was to be a most memorable day
of course, one's wedding day should be
this was on Friday 27 April 1990
all that time ago 28 years that was me

My girl was Christine I had met her
only a short time before this special day
we met in September engaged at Christmas
set to wed this day hitched to stay

All of my life I stammered severely
this would be a problem saying my vows
I prayed much to speak with a flow
my answer came as God touched my sounds

Oh the blessing on my tongue so clear
even my reception speech was okay
why was it possible this to be?
God was near stilling my nerves away

My bride Christine was so lovely
assuring me this indeed was for real
how could anyone love me so?
so amazing my emotions I can feel

This was indeed my day so special
never to be forgotten as long as I breathe
thanks go all to God for His grace
which I mercifully constantly receive!
