Ceasefire, the surrender
I watched you with just as much nerves as I'm sure you were feeling. It's the day of our wedding.
The anticipation, far greater than any battle I've ever fought,
This battle is different, of two hearts becoming one, a joining,
Spirit speaking to spirit, greater love has no one ever sought.
My heart reached for yours, outstretched wide and open to your call,
I want this just as much as you, my darling,
Invite you into the treasures of my soul, you outshine them all.
A heavy burden indeed, to love you as Christ loves the church, a High Calling.
I've been made fit for the task by dying to self daily,
Choosing the Lord time and time again, each day.
This prince has made himself ready,
I join you each time to kneel and pray,
I want you to know, I understand,
You belong to the King first and foremost.
You're His before I'm ever your man,
To be joined to me before all the heavenly host.
I see it in your eyes, you also understand me,
I'm his son first before I am a husband to you,
He cares for my heart too, for He takes care to protect even me,
He's taken great care to prepare me for you.
We stand before a great cloud of witnesses,
A man shall leave father and mother and cleave unto his wife,
And truly i will rejoice in the wife of my youth, singing praises,
To the God who has given us such a wonderful and new life.
Let us both sing, amen.
