They Loved Well

This is a song I wrote for my Parents, Paul and Laila Wilson, on their 50th Wedding Anniversary November 2000. I am fortunate to have a Dad and Mom that love Jesus and passed that love down to me.

1) A woman and a man fifty years ago

Sealed their love with a kiss and devotion with a vow

The future was before them a lifetime to unfurl

Fulfilled because they loved each other well

2) Their children numbered five, three boys and two girls

Raised to trust in their God and work hard for what you earn

Their lives were all so different, in prayer each day upheld

And blessed because they loved their children well

C) The journey wasn’t easy and the path not always clear

But in the end their love would always overcome the fear

3) The measure of success is not how much you own

But in the legacy you leave to those to whom you’re known

Their fortune is their children and giving is their wealth

Success came ’cause they loved their Savior well

They loved each other

They loved their children and their Savior well

Oh they loved well, they loved well

A Lady Named Ruth

I wrote this song about my Grandmother after she died in August 1995.  She was my fathers mother and the sweetest lady you have met.  I was priveledged to sing it at her funeral.

1)My grandmother was such a lovely woman

A heart of gold, pure and refined

A voice that could soothe any hurting

and bring a spark of joy in your eyes

2)She never would show that she was angry

Her eyes of love, gentle and kind

The love of her Saviour ever showing

Teaching you how Christ can change your life

C) Now she’s in Heaven with Grandpa and her Lord

Maybe playing the piano, singing songs of joy

Laughing and smiling cause there’s no pain anymore

Probably walking through the gardens picking flowers by the score

3)A sure reflection of a Godly woman

Her soul so pure, devoted and true

Her prayers were packages of God’s own wisdom

Wrapped within a Lady Named Ruth

A Lady Named Ruth

My Grandmother Ruth

-Todd Wilson August 26, 1995
