We have two special songs - in addition to the song at our wedding. The song at our wedding was written by Andrew Culverwell and is titled "He had it planned long ago" and we actually sang it to each other. The lyrics are at the bottom of this post.
Two songs that are special to us though are Shania Twain's "You're still the one" which means a lot to us and I think of it is "Looks Like We Made It". We had been going through a very very rough time in our marriage and at times had wondered if we would give up (even though we couldn't afford to give up). Once again, we'd both decided to stay married...and then we heard that song. Since everyone always said we'd never make it since we came from different sides of the track ... that song meant a lot to us. When I heard Shania and her husband split up years later, I was heartbroken cause I knew she'd written it to him.
The final song is by Anne Murray called "You Needed Me". That was very special to us in the early years of our marriage (when Anne Murray was more popular too).
Title: He Had It Planned Long Ago
We come to a moment so great in our lives,
We look at each other, with tears in our eyes,
So thankful to God for this moment in time,
But He had it planned long ago.
Chorus
He holds the heavens in space, the world in its place;
The mountains and valleys are all His, we know.
A man and a woman, a love that's forever, yes,
He had it planned long ago.
Today there's the question: "How long will it last,
How soon will the joy of this moment be past?"
The answer is, "Never" if we really know
That He had it planned long ago.
Chorus
He holds the heavens in space, the world in its place;
The mountains and valleys are all His, we know.
A man and a woman, a love that's forever, yes,
He had it planned long ago.
There's nobody greater that God up above,
He'll keep us together with His great arms of love.
And we'll never be lonely on earth, here below,
For He had it planned long ago.
Chorus
He holds the heavens in space, the world in its place;
The mountains and valleys are all His, we know.
A man and a woman, a love that's forever, yes,
He had it planned long ago.
He holds the heavens in space, the world in its place;
The mountains and valleys are all His, we know.
A man and a woman, a love that's forever, yes,
He had it planned long ago.
Oh yes, He had it planned long ago.
