The song "I will be here" by Steven Curtis Chapman was sung live by my hubby’s cousin sister on our wedding day (she played the keyboard too). It was a surprise for me then, as I did not plan for a wedding singer, thou I had wanted one.

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
and the sun does not appear
I will be here

If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
‘Cause I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen

And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin’
Through the winning, losing and trying
We’ll be together
I will be here

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here

Just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So I will be here

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we’re older
I will hold you

And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me

I will be here
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here

The lyrics of this song has deep meaning to me. I remember the many times this song brought tears to my eyes throughout these few years. I am thankful that this song is sung on my wedding day, it is not chosen by me, but I believe that it is dedicated by God to us.

Just let me recall here how this song has been so touching in every year of my marriage from the start:

• 2004 - Sung on wedding day by surprise to me and I felt so touched/blessed
• 2005 - Many career challenges, hubby sent this song to me and I felt comforted
• 2006 - Months of pregnancy difficulties/sickness, and this song make me feel comforted

It never came accross my mind that I will face many challenges every year after marriage, I can only imagine the happy ever after scene then. This song reminds me of how precious and sacred is our marriage vow made in the presence of God.

God really knows best! Even when it comes to the song He dedicate to us
