God made the earth
The flowers and the trees
The streams and the rivers,
That feed the mighty seas;
He made each green valley,
And hill and mountain high,
And then with loving care
He made the stars to light the sky
God made the birds
And gave them songs to sing,
The sunshine and the rainbows
And every lovely thing,
Then from the heart of Heaven,
His Kingdom above
Came God’s Greatest Gift,
The gift of love!
God then made man
Gave him the breath of life.
God saw he was lonely
Then fashioned him a wife!
And God’s plan is perfect!
I know you’ll both agree.
That only through the love of God
There’s love for you and me!
From heaven came
Such love! Your hearts can sing!
The sunshine was made brighter!
What joy your love does bring!
Yes, from the heart of heaven,
The Father of love,
Came God’s awesome gift.
Each other’s love!
Bless them we pray
As husband and as wife.
Oh, Lord may Your Presence!
Give meaning to their life.
And Lord may this couple
Seek You in all they do
Oh, may their joys be
Multiplied as they delight in You!
Lord, grow their love
And give them songs to sing
May sunshine and the rainbows
And every lovely thing
Come from Your heart oh Father,
From Heaven above!
Lord bless now these two
Author of Love.

How wonderful for the couple who has received this as a wedding gift from you! :) Bravo! :)
Good to see you both! Thanks for your visit and kind comments. Actually, Charity, these were lyrics I wrote to a melody, which my cousin sang at her son's wedding a number of years ago! She did a beautiful job!
