Vers
Dearly beloved, we gather on this day.
to join together this pair who before us stand, who stand in their way?
Joyfully and in the love of God. Into this holy estate.
You are all here to witness the step they are about to take.
Chorus
You’re at the beginning. It’s not always an easy road.
It can be beautiful but there are bumps that can’t be told.
Life is a journey, and it shouldn’t be taken alone.
We all need a hand to hold.
Vers
Jesus Reminds us, of the couple that God made.
A man shall leave his parents and become one with a maid.
The two shall become one in the love that they create.
A life completed with the promise not to separate.
Chorus
You’re at the beginning. It’s not always an easy road.
It can be beautiful but there are bumps that can’t be told.
Life is a journey, and it shouldn’t be taken alone.
We all need a hand to hold.
Bridge (1 Corinthians 13:4-8 + a prayer)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it isn’t proud.
It isn’t rude, not self-seeking, or easily angered.
It keeps no record of the wrongs that come to pass.
Love doesn’t delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It protects, always trusts, it hopes, perseveres, and never fails.
O' Almighty God, you have created us all in the image of Love, the image of Yourself. Bless now these two who stand before you. Guide them in your wisdom, shine your light down upon them, that as they journey through this life together, they will walk as bearers of your Truth.
Chorus
You’re at the beginning. It’s not always an easy road.
It can be beautiful but there are bumps that can’t be told.
Life is a journey, and it shouldn’t be taken alone.
We all need a hand to hold.
Vers
And now I ask you each to repeat the vows.
To love and to cherish forever from now.
No matter what comes in your way from this day forward.
Promise to handle all together with no anger or row.
Chorus
You’re at the beginning. It’s not always an easy road.
It can be beautiful but there are bumps that can’t be told.
Life is a journey, and it shouldn’t be taken alone.
We all need a hand to hold.
Ending
I now pronounce you man and wife now go.
by our witness and your promise before His throne.
With God’s blessing on this journey, you partake.
Mister and Misses may you be always in His grace.
