I Belong To You

In addition to being Easter, this past Sunday was also a very special day for me in that it was my wedding anniversary. That’s right…12 years of wedded bliss for me and Meloney!

You know, it doesn’t feel like it’s been 12 years. I guess time really does fly when you’re having fun!

This picture was taken a few weeks ago during the promo shoot that also produced the picture that you see up to the right. It was taken by our good friend, Aleah Goode. If you like these pictures, you can check out more of her work at her website: www.aleahgoodephotography.com

A few years ago, when I was recording my first solo CD, Refuge, I wrote the following lyrics as a tribute to my wife. I felt it was appropriate to share them with you here (By the way, the CD is available at www.ericgwin.com if you’re interested in that sort of thing!):

I Belong To You

I belong to you
And I can never run away
From the love that you've given me
I belong to you
You have captured my heart
And since then I haven't been the same
I belong to you
And you're the only one
Who could ever call me your own
And I belong to you
There is nobody else
That could ever take your place

You've given your all to me
And I thank you
And you've made my life complete
And I thank you

I belong to you
And to nobody else
Only you are the owner of my heart
And I belong to you
And to you alone
And now I'm completely whole

I can't imagine how my life would be without you
I can't imagine how lost I would be
I can't see myself living without you
I can't describe how much you mean to me

Today I praise God for the last 12 years! There have, of course, been ups and downs, good times and not-so-good times. But through it all, the last 12 years have been a blast! God has blessed us with 2 beautiful children and a very happy home. I can’t wait to see what he has in store for the next 12 years!

May God Bless You Today!
