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 MalacaƱang 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
