Chris van der Westhuizen

My vrou, my lief,
my lewensmaat.
Jy is gemaak van
fluweelblom en kant.
God het elke gare
self met sorg ingeryg.

Jy is die perfekste
in Sy hand gevorm.
Kyk hoe mooi is jy
met ’n hart so warm.
Jy is waarlik besonders.
Jy is ’n wonderwerk.

My Wonder

My wife, my love,
my partner for life.
You’re made of
velvet flower and lace.
God Himself has woven
each delicate trace.

You’re perfectly formed
by His gentle hand.
See how lovely you are,
with a heart so warm and grand.
You truly are special-
a wonder from God's hand.
