To be quite honest the origin wasn't quite as described - it was originally written as a love-song in the musical 'Exodus' that I wrote with the late great composer, Christopher Tambling. In the script, a (married) couple of central characters found themselves on the verge of splitting up and this was their reconciliation song. Later, it was slightly revised and published as a hymn. I came to realise that the values expressed in the text I had learned at home - an extraordinary environment characterised by a balance of unconditional love and safe boundaries - and I retrospectively dedicated the text to my father's memory. So it was indeed originally a romantic love-song and only later became associated with my father. However, I never had any sense of its being actually addressed to him (and still don't) but more a tribute to the values he and my mother shared and that characterised our home.<br />Thank you again for your kind words - I'm so glad to have provided you with a fitting text for your wedding.<br />Michael Forster (www.michaelforster.weebly.com)<br />PS.
