As I laid me down to sleep
Last night I prayed the Lord would keep
Husband and marriage near His heart
To gently craft this work of art
Yet in the stillness as I lay
His whispered voice did softly say
"Remember, Kate, our wedding day,
How I was first your fiance."
As dawned the sweetest memories of
Two decades' worth of Savior love
I sighed a smile of peaceful rest
Nestled on my Husband's chest
Though silly daylight makes it sound
I treasure this dear thought profound
That I was wed at young age 4
To Jesus Christ forevermore
And twenty years into new life
God fit me to be Stephen's wife
And He will fit us ever still
To toil and relish His bright will
So near or far, home or deployed
We've greater hopes to be enjoyed
Beyond this momentary grace
When Jesus Groom is face to face
