The fame and fortune of this world are nothing to compare
With all the blessings of the Lord that man and wife can share.
A faithful love, a trusting friend, a soul mate who can be
A comfort to encourage you through life's complexity.
When dreams are broken, and words of anger come,
Speak love, as Christ has spoken; forgive as he has done.
You learn through disappointment to patient as you live,
And grow to show each other just how deeply love can give.
Oh, may your faith in Jesus always keep you both as one,
Enfolding and upholding you for all the years to come.
For all the years to come.
2. Bound By Love Listen...
When a man and woman vow to love each other till life is done,
And, in prayer, they ask the Lord to bless the new life they've
begun,
As they are bound to God through faith in Christ, his son,
May their hearts be bound with their love, by God's love, as one.
Now may they grow in grace with every passing day,
Keeping the promises they made when now becomes a yesterday.
When a man and woman vow to love each other till life is done,
And, in prayer, they ask the Lord to bless the new life they've
begun,
As they are bound to God through faith in Christ, his son,
May their hearts be bound with their love, by God's love, as one.
Amen. Amen.
3. Love Is Patient, Love Is Kind Listen...
We are here to witness a beginning, a marriage blessed by God above.
For the home established in the Savior's Word, is a home blessed
in
Christian love.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy; it does not boast.
No pride or anger in God's design,
Love is patient, love is kind.
Love is not rude or self-seeking; love keeps no record of wrong.
Love does not delight in evil; love lasts a whole life long.
Love is trusting, love protects, and always hoping, it perseveres.
It is the mirror of Christ divine;
Love is patient, love is kind.
4. To Our Children
Listen...
It seems like yesterday that we first held you, and sang you lullabies,
And watched you grow before our eyes.
And in that precious time that we were given, we thanked the Savior,
who
Had given us the gift of you.
You weren't the perfect child, nor perfect parents we,
But love brings forgiveness in a family.
Go, dear children, with our blessing celebrate this day.
As the perfect love example, God will guide your way.
Turn to him in troubled times; share the good times , too.
So, dear children, God be with you, blessing all you do.
Today you promise always to be faithful; to join another's life,
To give yourselves as man and wife.
And in the precious time that you are given, hold on to Jesus Christ,
Remember all he sacrificed.
As he did this for you, so for each other be
Compassionate extensions of his family.
Go, dear children, with our blessing celebrate this day.
As the perfect love example, God will guide your way.
Turn to him in troubled times; share the good times , too.
So, dear children, God be with you, blessing all you do.
Go, dear children, God be with you,
And our blessings, too.
5. Unfailing Love
Listen...
Father, your servants come before you in prayer,
Asking your blessing on this life they will share.
May your unfailing love rest upon them,
O Lord, even as they put their hope in you.
May it guide them and always protect them,
Lord, may their lives reflect your truth.
Give them willing hands that will labor for you,
Patience and wisdom is all that they do.
May your unfailing love rest upon them,
O Lord, even as they put their hope in you.
May it guide them and always protect them,
Lord, may their lives reflect your truth.
Lord, this we ask in Jesus' name.
Amen.
6. These Two
Listen...
Jesus, take these two by hand on their wedding day.
For these two trust in you, want to live your way.
It's your blessing that we ask in this holy place.
Help these two follow through in their time of grace.
If the vows spoken now always echo true,
Groom and bride will abide like the Church and you.
Jesus, may the Christian faith evident today,
Keep these two close to you, in your care, we pray.
May their lives reflect your love as the years proceed,
Help these two mirror you in each thought and deed.
God above, if their love always clings to you,
It will last unsurpassed. Jesus, bless these two.
Jesus bless these two!
