Our Wedding Prayer

by Lois Walker (written in 1968, a few months before I became a Breneman)

This is a song I wrote for our wedding to the tune of the hymn, "Oh Jesus, I Have Promised,"  which I love.  This was sung during our wedding ceremony (by Jere Boyer, brother of Dave Boyer) while we knelt at the altar. 

Oh Father, how we thank Thee
        for sending us your best;
You've led us both together -
        we'll trust you for the rest.


This love that You have rendered
        so tender and so pure,
We leave in Your control, Lord,
        to blossom and endure.


You've planned our lives so fully,
        a blueprint so divine!
Our human minds could never
        be nearly so sublime.

Our goals and our ambitions
        we give to You to hold,
And with your glorious blessings,
        we'll see each one unfold.

Again, Oh Lord, we thank Thee!
        In Thy dear name, Amen.
