the chord and the capture
to my brother and sister Yohan and Chasity Perera…thank you for bringing such joy, laughter and love in my life.
love you both!
God knitted her together
with chords of light
just so gentle that His creation
in her songs and spirit
brings us such delight
the human eye might see a singer
but God made her
to be a minister of light
because like Jesus
she sees with eyes that
always make you feel found
and as her songs humbly play
we also start to call her
a minister of sound
putting us at ease
and washing us over
with the love of God
that truly knows no bounds
you see the beauty in her voice
doesn’t give you a choice
but to be still
to sit in awe of our
Lord God’s creation
another one of His great feats
and as she sings
we can feel how
our God’s heart
truly leaps
God knitted him together
with eyes of light
one moment in his presence
and all of a sudden any sadness
or sign of a frown
has one stand tall
reminding us when we are
feeling down
we just need to take a moment
to look up at the Crown
He captures with such beauty
that when you see a photo
one might say “whoa, whoa, whoa”
you see when a man that has a gifting
with a spirit and photo that is always lifting
it inspires us to smile and enjoy
how our God’s presence
never leaves and is always existing
so today we sit back and say
God sure is majestic with the way
he weaves this tapestry of a man together
with rays of light in eyes
with a faith that will last forever
because no matter where he goes
this is the kind of man who can withstand
any type of weather
so together Chasity and Yohan,
you now live as one chord…one capture
uplifting us all to a new stature
that we are only chosen
and never forsaken
which is why i hope you know
more than ever
that while what you create
is such a gift
the real gift is in your presence
your joy and pursuit of the Lord
because the more we pursue…
the more we pull those around us
and i for one can say that our friendship
has brought me closer to Jesus
it could be in the moments when
i might have been feeling a little lonely
and you took the time to sit down
see me
and ask more about my testimony
maybe it is in the times you always listened
and made me feel heard
you took time to point me to that key
scripture or new ways i could
receive God’s word
but maybe my favorite of all
is in the story of how
you became a couple
where we laugh so hard because you
both have a different accord
but that is ok
because we now know
through the beauty of your marriage
and your love of the Lord
that our God has you two
singing and capturing
as one
beautiful and magical
chord
