song  for  a  christian  wedding

Picture
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.
