Poem: “I couldn’t ask God for better” (dedicated to my wife Ernella)

I couldn’t ask God for better, you’re a sweet wife, Ernella

With you I can’t help but look forward to the future

My love for you is so deep, yet it grows deeper.

Jesus is in our marriage, and I know that it will grow sweeter.

5 years ago today, what a day it was

God joined us together as a demonstration of His love

 

And today is testimony of His unfailing love

To God be the glory great things He has done

 

The sacrifices you make for my sake everyday

Is a great debt that I cannot easily repay

 

But I pray that I’ll always be all God called me to be

To be the great husband you need me to be

 

You are a Champion in Christ, and a priceless wife

Who helps me to press on in this journey of life

And with you by my side, together we will climb

To the mountain tops of blessings God has for you and I

 

You are a beautiful woman, on the inside and out

And true to the old proverb, you know what you’re about

 

You’re an encouragement to me that helps me to be strong

Very warm and loving, motivating and firm

 

You’re a strong woman, many burdens have you beared

Only you and God knows how much have you faced

 

And often times I have not been there with you as I should

Present circumstances also make it so difficult

 

But Jesus our Saviour, who continues to keep you

Has prepared you for the great things He is about to show you

 

You are GREAT WOMAN, mother and wife of my children

A true servant of God, and dedicated to His mission

 

You’re an inspiration to me and to many others,

An example to follow, you’re a true role model

 

I am blessed to have you, my dear, sweet wife Ernella

Indeed, without a doubt, I couldn’t ask God for better.
