A special 25th Anniversary Song
family inspirational
Inspirational Christian songs of praise/worship/encouragement/scripture in a simple, engaging, singable style.
My name is Cyndi Aarrestad, and I am a singer/songwriter, wife and mom living on a farm near a small community in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. I am married to Dennis, and together we have raised three awesome young adults. I grew up in a Christian family where singing and music were always a part of our home. Both of my parents played multiple instruments, and all of us children learned to play several as well. We often sang at seniors homes and other special events. At about age 14 I started writing songs on the piano, and later learned the guitar which is now what I often play and compose with. Many of the songs I write are simple praise choruses and childrens songs, but I have also written numerous full-length songs with a style I would describe as a combination of praise/inspirational/country gospel. I have also written and performed many songs customized for special events, such as weddings, dedications, anniversaries, family reunions, Christmas programs, funerals, etc.. I have written over 2,400 songs, and have made 11 recordings in a friends home studio, with my latest 18 recorded at my home, as well as 3 professionally recorded ones over the past 4 years. I also had one CD recorded by the CBC for their radio show Road Records after being chosen in their contest, and I had a song chosen by a Nashville company to be featured in their demo showcase, which was made available to publishers and performers throughout North America. I have had some recent international radio exposure, including having several songs on the European Country Music charts, and an internet presence on various music sites. My latest album, "Restore", is releasing May, 2025. I post new choruses and songs on: https://www.facebook.com/CyndiAarrestadsMusicPage or https://www.facebook.com/Cyndi-Aarrestad-Scripture-Songs-To-Share-435658573172003/ as well as on my soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/cyndiaar On my website, www.cyndiaarrestad.ca I have all my music available as well as a blog of inspiring quotes, scriptures and articles. I believe God has given me a gift to write music, and I am looking to share these songs, wherever He opens up an opportunity. My desire is to honor & glorify Him by sharing what He has given to hopefully encourage and edify the body of Christ. Website: www.cyndiaarrestad.ca

Story behind the song
This song was written for my sister and her husband, and good friends who were celebrating their 25th anniversaries together. It talks about the commitment it takes to stay true to your wedding vows, as well as the lessons and accomplishments along the journey.
Lyrics
25 YEARS Verse 1: Said “I do” a long time ago, not knowing where the road would go You said together you would stand, and face it all, hand in hand To your promise you’d stay true, whatever life would bring to you Pledging always to love faithfully, and now we see (that) Chorus: 25 years of loving and living, 25 years of growing and giving Sharing your hearts, building your home, with memories to call your own 25 years of ups and downs, shoulder to shoulder, standing your ground Raising your daughters and your sons, look how far you’ve come in 25 years! Verse 2: On the day when you said your vows, you didn’t know what you know now Just how much time down on your knees, it takes to raise a family How forgiveness, faith and trust, with love and laughter, are a must For a home that stands the test of time, and you’ve done fine (through) Chorus: 25 years of loving and living, 25 years of growing and giving Sharing your hearts, building your home, with memories to call your own 25 years of ups and downs, shoulder to shoulder, standing your ground Raising your daughters and your sons, look how far you’ve come in 25 years! Bridge: Those years have gone so fast, you built a love that lasts Happy 25th Anniversary, now go for 50! Chorus: 25 years of loving and living, 25 years of growing and giving Sharing your hearts, building your home, with memories to call your own 25 years of ups and downs, shoulder to shoulder, standing your ground Raising your daughters and your sons, look how far you’ve come in 25 years! Cyndi Aarrestad, 2011
