1 jour de joie (chant)

30 juillet, 2016.

Over 10 years ago, I wrote a song for 2 friends who were getting married. I had offered - they said, Yes. I said, do you want light or heavy evangelistic? They said, Heavy, please.

The working title for their wedding song was "Day of joy". I think I finalised it in October or November 2005.

I'm going to quote the 2nd verse here, for the sake of the spouse and progeny of one of my cousins, Tina - who would have been 40 this week, had she won the battle with cancer in November 2015.

________________

There is a day of joy, for which we wait in hope,
When our Lord and Christ His bride will have received,
And His bride will be the Church, all who have followed Him,
Who when they heard His good news, they believed.

And they will be there at the Lord's wedding feast,
And His invitation is for everyone.
Will you accept the saving grace He offers you in Christ?

It's much more than marriage - it's eternal life.
