Perfection

Well, actually... spiritual perfection. That's what "seven" in biblical numerology stands for. I wouldn't exactly say that we've hit that mark in our seven years of marriage, but these seven years have been perfect in so many ways. Jordan, you continue to keep your vows to me every day of our marriage, and I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to this song without tearing up. Just as we stood in front of family and friends seven years ago tonight and listened to this song, I'm replaying the words in my head today. May we have many, many more years of

being there for each other. Happy Seventh!

I Will Be Here

Steven Curtis Chapman

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 were made for change

Our lifetimes were made for these 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.
