song for a christian wedding
I wrote this for my wedding in 1971.
I didn’t think I could perform it live at my wedding as I was rather emotional in those days, and believed that I wouldn’t make it through the song without crying. So I decided to pre-record it and play the recording at the wedding. Problem was, I didn’t have any money for recording.
Thanks to the largesse of Buddy King- who had engineered the first Maranatha album at his home studio- I was able to record the song free of charge.
The original recording was really just a demo, and when it came time to think about recording it for public consumption, I felt it should be recorded more professionally.
As with many of my demos, they are often so much better in feel than the actual recording. I almost regret that the original version was not the one I released. Not that this one didn’t turn out well. It did. But something about the feel of the first impression of a song can often be better than the official recording.
The idea of the lyric was to first address my bride, then invite the Lord, and- in last verse- approach The Lord in the triune melding of our souls and spirits.
