New song - 'Pretty Face'

Antje and I will have been married for 10 years this coming September 1st.

We were hoping to do something special, something we've never done together...then God gave us Eden Brenna Thompson, our new little princess, and she has over abundantly 'scratched this itch'!

Besides this, I have had it on my heart to write Antje a song but am not very good at writing love songs...I find it easier to write 'daddy daughter' songs, for some weird reason, but this said, and perhaps still a fair diagnosis, I wrote Antje a song last night anyway.

With my voice, which echoes through the night like cats being murdered, it has the potential of becoming a hit...on some uninhabitable planet, that is, where the native plant life feeds on 'out of tune fruit cake husbands trying to impress their wives'!

For what it’s worth here are the words...it's entitled 'Pretty Face':

Pretty Face

Who am I – without you?
I am, well – just a shell
Of a man – without you
Trapped in time – prison cell

Oh but wait & let’s see
You’re mine still!
Pretty Face we will be
Always will
If, in His will
Together until
He comes

Again – I’ll hold you
Closely by – tucked inside
My embrace – I love you
By His grace – in His stride

& those times when we’re we
We’re fine still!
Pretty Face your with me
Always my girl
If, in His will
Together until
He comes

(Musical interlude)

Who am I – without you?
I am, well – just a shell
Of a man – without you
Trapped in time – prison cell

Oh but wait & let’s see
You’re mine still!
Pretty Face we will be
Always will
If, in His will
Together until
He comes

Well and trustworthy is the proverb;

"He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the LORD" (Prov 18:22)

Praise God for the love of my life!
