Wedding Song

I've been having dreams and visions

In them you are always standing

Right beside me

I reach out for your hand

To see your arms extending

outstretched towards me

For you I don the veil

By your light

Others pale by comparison

I place my faith in love

My fate in this communion

I've been having dreams and visions

In them you are always standing

Right beside me

I reach out for your hand

To see your arms extending

Outstretched towards me

To you I give my pledge

I honor all that's good

In this life we're living

To think not only of myself

But of the greater union

Can I get a witness

There is salvation and rapture for the lonely

Can I get a witness

Bless this day sacred and holy

Sacred and Holy

I've been having dreams and visions

In them you are always standing

Right beside me

I reach out for your hand

To see your arms extending

Outstretched towards me

With you I am revealed

All my shame all my faults and virtues

Behold body mind and spirit

Heart and soul devoted all to you

Can I get a witness

There is salvation and rapture for the lonely

Can I get a witness

Bless this day sacred and holy

Sacred and Holy
