Wherever you go, I will follow
Today is Sofia and my 10th wedding anniversary. This was the final song at our wedding and reflects well my feelings then and today.

Covenant Hymn by Gary Daigle and Rory
Wherever you go, I will follow,
Wherever you live is my home.
Though days be of blessing or sorrow,
Though house be of canvas or stone,
Though Eden be lost to the past,
Though mountains before us be vast,
Wherever you go, I am with you.
I will never leave you alone.
Whatever you dream, I am with you,
When stars call your name in the night.
Though shadows and mist cloud the future,
Together we bear the light.
Like Abram and Sarah we stand,
With only a promise in hand.
But lead where you dream: I will follow.
To dream with you is my delight.
And though you should fall, you will find me,
When no other friend can you claim,
When foes beat you down or betray you,
And others desert you in shame.
When home and dreams aren’t enough,
And you run away from my love,
I’ll raise you from where you have fallen.
Faithful to you is my name.
Wherever you die, I will be there
To sing you to sleep with a psalm,
To sooth with tales of our journey,
Your fears and doubts I will calm.
We’ll live when journeys are done
Forever in mem’ry as one.
And we will be buried together,
And waken to great a new dawn.
Wherever you go, I will follow.
Behold! The horizon shines clear.
The possible gleams like a city:
Together we’ve nothing to fear.
So speak with words bold and true
The message my heart speaks to you.
You won’t be alone, I have promised.
Wherever you go, I am there.

krystyna: dziekuje.
MOI: 30 years of marriage is an even greater achievement. The song is a fairly modern one - I think it was published in 1993. Our music was seleted and organized by a friend of mine.
Ingrid: thanks, we think do too!
rennyba: thank you!
barbara: like all priviliges, it also carries great responsibility as well as the need for constant commitment.
freckled-one: a little tough to share an intimate moment as we were in different cities on that day.
coffee fairy: it is never too late.
