Love, the thread of quilted kindness Binding family and friends. Love, that all-surpassing power, God's gift, Christ-like, never ends. Year on year, by decades measured, Miracles and love are shown, So we come in rich thanksgiving Now for all the love we've known! God ordained that people, loving, Shall become a family. Sharing blessings, sorrows, dancing, Love surrounds for all to see. When we live through pain and sadness We are strengthened ev'ry day, By the love that heaven sent to Guide and lead us all the way! * Fifty Year of love and travel Sharing gifts that can sustain All the gifts of sacred union God, creating, did ordain When, at Eden, God poured blessings. Two in union were made one! Praying, praising, we will always Glow with love that God has shown! In communion, we are loving, Sharing gifts that can sustain All the gifts of sacred union God, creating, did ordain. When, at Eden, God poured blessing, Love enough for ev'ryone! Praying, praising, we will always Glow with love that God has shown.! *Optional third verse (shown here for a 50th wedding anniversary) with variable first lines- Many years of love and...
