(Music
begins
softly,
gentle
acoustic
guitar
and
light
percussion)
From
the
first
step
that
you
took,
down
this
winding
road,
Two
hearts
were
joined
together,
a
story
yet
untold.
Edward,
see
your
Ketty,
a
gift
from
above,
Ketty,
see
your
Edward,
a
lifetime
of
love.
Today
you
stand
as
one,
under
the
open
sky,
With
a
promise
in
your
souls,
and
a
gleam
in
your
eye.
Kukondana,
kukondana,
This
is
the
day
that
the
Lord
has
made.
Kukondana,
kukondana,
A
foundation
that
will
never
fade.
As
the
sun
will
rise
and
the
rivers
will
flow,
Ndi
chikondi
chanu,
let
it
forever
grow.
Makolo
anu
akulemekezedwa,
Ndiwo
mizu
ya
moyo
wanu.
Anakukulirani
m'manja
mwawo,
Kuchokera
pa
tsiku
lobadwa
lanu.
Lero
tikukumbukira
ntchito
yawo,
Mphatso
yawo
ndi
yayikulu.
Zikomo,
makolo
athu
okondedwa,
Mwasandutsa
miyala
kukhala
miyala
yamtengo
wapatali.
Now
your
house
is
built,
with
a
door
that's
strong,
Don't
let
the
whispers
of
the
world
tell
you
that
you're
wrong.
Let
no
one
separate
what
God
has
brought
together,
Stand
as
one
in
the
sun,
and
one
in
the
weather.
The
path
will
have
its
shadows,
and
the
wind
may
start
to
blow,
But
the
fire
you've
ignited
is
the
only
light
you'll
know.

And

and

For

that
nurtured

and

This

is
a
reflection
of
the
love

A

of

on
which
their
lives
are
made.
