[Verse 1]
White dress
Trembling hands
I can hear my heartbeat in this room
Your eyes say “forever”
As you’re walking down toward me and Him too
Every step a promise
Every breath a prayer we’re lifting up
Not just you and me here
There’s a third strand tying us in love
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t want a day
That fades like flowers
I want a life
Built on His power
[Chorus]
Jesus at the center of us
More than a feeling
More than the rush
You and me
Hand in hand
Standing on the rock
Not the sand
Every vow that we confess
Every joy and every test
Let this love be more than just “us”
Jesus at the center of us
[Verse 2]
Years from this moment
When the rings are worn and hair turns gray
When we lose our footing
He’ll be strong enough to hold our weight
We’ll forgive like He did
We’ll be patient when the days feel long
We’ll keep on returning
To the One who taught our hearts this song
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t want a fire
That dies by midnight
I want a flame
Kept by His lifelight
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Before I take your hand
I lay it in His
Before I call you mine
I remember I’m His
If ever we forget
If we drift or we doubt
We’ll run back to the cross
Where this love started out [soft choir “ohh”]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
