about

I wrote this song for Karyn for our wedding and finally recorded & released!

lyrics

Left to me love would be
A bit too much like entropy
Where could I look to find
Love so much unlike the kind
That blooms for a time
But leaves only barren branches behind

Only He who took a tree
A symbol of inconstancy
And in one day made it say
Love's eternal price is paid
Could give you to me
And show me what love was intended to be

So for the joy set before
I'll love like my Lord
And lay down my life for my friend

Love will not leave for the one who leads me
Changelessly shows me the way
Love will not leave you
I promise you today

He gave you to me
And showed me what love was intended to be

So for the joy set before
I'll love like my Lord
And lay down my life for my friend
