An aspect of my identity is about to change — I’m getting married in June! Crazy. For years I thought I wasn’t the marrying type. Though I may add a new last name to the one I’ve carried all my years, I am still me, on the verge of growth and new possibility!

I wrote this song for the wedding vow ceremony that will take place in just over a month. I’d love to give John mixes of this song for a wedding gift and include a favorite to accompany the wedding video we’re having made……

Special thanks to John Jones for spending the time with me by the piano to help arrange this song, taking it from on-the-edge-of-cheesy to truly romantic. You rock JJ!

Just Beginning

In your eyes
There’s a bright paradise
All I imagined, all of my dreams
With you now realized

Our whole world is a garden
I’ve always dreamt about Eden

And here we stand by the ocean
Hand in hand
Just beginning

You’re my rock, my strength
Lifting me up an entire tree length
All I imagined
Heaven could be
With you now awakening

Our whole world is a garden
I’ve always prayed to find Eden

And here we stand by the ocean
Hand in hand

Sharing our name where the seed of our love began
And we’re just beginning

Sweet scent of the green surrounding us
Blue, your eyes like the sea
White breath of the sky, those we love right nearby
And we’re just beginning
We’re just beginning
Just beginning

Our whole world is a garden
Every day making our Eden

And here we stand by the ocean
Hand in hand
With just one heart beating
Sharing our name where the seed of our love began
And we’re just beginning
Here we stand by the ocean
In the garden
Of our Eden
Here
And we’re just beginning
Our whole world
Just beginning
