Then

(written and sung for Dan and Val’s Wedding)

So many steps we stumble,
we take in faith alone,
Unsure into the quiet,
facing the unknown.
We may never feel we’re ready
To see how much we’ve grown,
But outstretched arms,
Our Father leads us home.

No one here’s ever certain,
even promises, we’ve seen
Can be lost and forgotten
Like a tired and faded dream,
but you can’t give in to sorrow,
His love will wash you clean.
Breathe in this moment,
It’s time to believe.

REFRAIN:
The fear’s no more, this is the door that’s opening so sure.
Now you understand you can take that hand,
and together ask the Lord,
For His blessing now,
That you made these vows,
That you’ll always trust His
Word.

Love is patient, Love is kind
And forgiveness leaves
the past behind,
So you can love who
God Has by your side.

REFRAIN:
The fear’s no more, this is the door that’s opening so sure.
Now you understand you can take that hand,
and together ask the Lord,
For His blessing now,
That you made these vows,
That you’ll always trust His
Word.

There’’ll be more steps to stumble,
But His covenant is pure,
The rings are just a symbol
Of a bond that is secure, If you both believe, in your hearts receive, Our Father’s living Word.

REFRAIN (x2):
The fear’s no more, this is the door that’s opening so sure.
Now you understand you can take that hand,
and together ask the Lord,
For His blessing now,
That you made these vows,
That you’ll always trust His
Word.

Today and always,
surrounded in hope’s song
Today and always,
