A splendid woman with me at home
Maps out all corners toward shalom
Even the dogs, birds, plants, and fishes
All sing to this queen's plenteous graces
Pretty, lovely, described by beauty
Her eyes, hands spread contagiously
The pans and curtains, chairs and vases
Contract from her these pleasing laces
The peak of all her characteristics
Glorious God in all she does, she speaks
She desires the Groom more than the groom
Worth far more than rubies can assume
But the taint on this diegesis
The princess weds a man from abyss
A sinner, a worm, a delinquent
No better than dung, falls are frequent
Though pains were halved, life grew tough rough
Like traversing through waves with chaffed raft
Sans Christ, where would we be all these years
Surely lost in darkness, soaked in tears
Great is the Lord, His gospel repaired
In spite of the flaws, our marriage fared
To the worst mistakes, grace forgiving
To the weaknesses, grace forbearing
Now as Malacañang changes head
It's been a decade since we had wed
A decade of foods, movies, beaches
A decade of drought, hunger, sickness
I'm aware, I did more wrong than right
But I'm still a wise king in your sight
Your complementing, animated
Your dissenting, Word-saturated
Ten years, not to us is the confidence
But to God's bitter sweet providence
Glorify Him until we part in death
And cherish you until my last breath
