Wedding Song Lyrics
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
outstretched towards me
By your light
Others pale by comparison
I place my faith in love
My fate in this communion
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me
I honor all that's good
In this life we're living
To think not only of myself
But of the greater union
There is salvation and rapture for the lonely
Can I get a witness
Bless this day sacred and holy
Sacred and Holy
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me
All my shame all my faults and virtues
Behold body mind and spirit
Heart and soul devoted all to you
There is salvation and rapture for the lonely
Can I get a witness
Bless this day sacred and holy
Sacred and Holy
I think you two missed the point. I agree that on my first listen through I thought it was a nice happy song. However after listening more carefully you can tell it's a sad song. You can hear it in Tracy's voice. Only in her "dreams and visions" does her lover reach out to her.
It seems to me that her lover never praises her strengths only her "faults". Or isn't good enough...
Why is she talking about being lonely and asking to be saved from the "rapture". We're talking doomsday here.
I forgot to mention the best part of the song. Dispite everything I just said. There is never any question of her devotion or "virtue". She sincerely cares for this other person. No matter how he\she treats her. You can hear it in Tracy's tone of voice. And the words. That's what makes the song so great.
this is such a cute song. i think the title says it all: it's about someone give his/her life to another person in love.
Very beautiful song! I love the melody...i could listen to it all the time.
