Chris van der Westhuizen

Ek's opgewonde, ek's bly.
Dis haar stem oor die foon,
Sy praat met my.

Ek wil kliphard sing.
Ek wil trompet wees,
My liefde uit basuin.

Niks sal ooit die gevoel oortref
Wat my so skielik laat besef.
Sy is lief vir my.

Die vertroue wat ek kry
Dat ons vir ewig saam,
In eenheid sal bly.

Daai geloof in mekaar
Laat ander mense staar.
Ons besef wat ons het.

Ons besef ons kan mekaar
In liefde so aanvaar om eendag
Saam, 'n spogpaartjie te wees.

We Realize What We Have

I'm excited, I'm glad.
It’s her voice on the line,
She’s talking to me.

I want to shout aloud,
To be a trumpet blast -
Proclaiming all my love.

Nothing could ever compare
To the sudden joy I feel -
She loves me, it’s real.

The trust I now receive,
That we’ll forever be one,
In unity we’ll stay.

That faith in one another
Makes strangers stop and stare -
We realize what we share.

We know we can accept
Each other fully in love,
And someday shine as a perfect pair.
