This song has been on my heart all day. Grant and I asked our dear friends to sing the following song at our wedding. Written and recorded by Eric and Leslie Ludy, you can listen to and download the song on iTunes.
In a marriage, it is easy to demand that things be all about us. More of "my way," more of "my needs met" and "my likes." But in reality, for a marriage to flourish and thrive, it should be ALL about more of Jesus.... in life, and in marriage.
I stand before you nowWith a sacred vow
To love you for a lifetime
To give all my heartBut there's One who's there
Where my love will fail
And He is all that I'm not
So now I must decrease
Usher His full glory in
May there be less of me and more of Him
When you see me
May you see reflections
Of One who's perfection won't end
When you hold me
May you feel the touch of
The One who loves much more
Than I can comprehend
When you fall more in love with me
May you fall more in love with Him
As the years go by
May I always try
To draw you closer to your one true destinyMy love for you is great
But it's just a taste
Of what's waiting in eternity
So now I must decrease
Usher His full glory in
May there be less of me and more of Him
When you see me
May you see reflections
Of One who's perfection won't end
When you hold me
May you feel the touch of
The One who loves much more
Than I can comprehend
When you fall more in love with me
May you fall more in love with Him
Hi Kristen, this is a wonderful song! You had a question about the award I gave you. This must be your first award so I'll show you how to do it. It is kind of a blogger thing, it states like this: Someone has photoShop or some other photo editing program and comes up with an award and makes one. After they have made the photo the give this award to their friends who have blogs. An award is usually given out for a reason, the Sunshine Award means that was given to this person because their blog made them smile and was encouraging to them! So what you will do is take the picture and save it in my pictures, then just add the photo to one of your posts and award several of your friends, if you can't think of 10, just lower the # to 5. And make sure you let the people you have awarded know about it. That's all! Ohh, you can also take the award I made a couple of months ago, http://womenofvirtue-abigail.blogspot.com/2009/12/award-ceremony.html I would like to give you this award also! If you have any more questions, please leave a comment or e-mail me at abigail.sitter@gmail.com
