My wife is such a gift to me…and as I think about her and our marriage, I felt compelled to share the words to the song Together by Stephen Curtis Chapman.
When Emily and I were married, neither of us had any idea that we’d be where we are today and it’s only by the grace of God we are still standing. Emily stole my heart and still steals it every day. I love her more than I could ever possibly say. I’m so thankful that we are “together”…no matter what :-)
Together – by: Stephen Curtis Chapman
Here we stand, here we are
With all our wounds and battle scars
From all the storms and all the wars we’ve weathered together
We had no way of knowing when
We started way back there and then
How the road would twist and turn and bend
We just knew we belonged together
And if it wasn’t for God’s mercy and His grace
There’s no way we would be standing in this place
But because He has been faithful
Every step along the way
Here we are together
We’ve climbed up mountains higher than
Were ever in our hopes and plans
We’ve held onto each other’s hands
Watched miracles unfold together
And we’ve crawled on our hands and knees
Through valleys cold and dark and deep
Sometimes not even sure if we could make it out alive together
And if it wasn’t for God’s mercy and His grace
There’s no way we would be standing in this place
But because He has been faithful
Every step along the way
Here we are together, together
