Hi Chad,

Have a look at ...

    http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Creating-titles

... and ...

    http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/align

Try this:

\header {
  dedication = \markup \column {
    \fill-with-pattern #2 #LEFT "" "Dedicated to You" ""
  }
  title = "Title"
}
