Love is

I’ll leave my father, I’ll leave my home,

To walk beside you, never alone.

Two hearts beating, a sacred start,

You and I, one flesh, one heart.

[Bridge)

It’s not good for man to stand on his own,

God made love so we’d never be alone.

And when I found you, I found grace,

A little heaven in your face.

Love is patient, love is kind,

It keeps no record in the mind.

Through the fire, through the rain,

It bears the joy, endures the pain.

Above it all, love remains —

Oh darling, love remains.

Let the marriage bed be pure and true,

I give my heart, my body too.

Not out of duty, but out of trust,

For love like this is more than just us.

[Bridge)

He who finds a wife, finds a good thing,

Favor from the Lord, that’s what love brings.

So I’ll love you like Christ loved the church,

Give myself for you, for what it’s worth.

Love is patient, love is kind,

It keeps no record in the mind.

Through the fire, through the rain,

It bears the joy, endures the pain.

Above it all, love remains —

Oh darling, love remains.

Hold me close, when we fall apart,

Grace will cover every scar and mark.

I’ll love you as myself, that’s the vow I keep,

You’ll be my waking, my rest, my peace.

Love is patient, love is kind,

It’s the greatest gift that we can find.

Through every trial, joy, and strain,

It believes, it hopes, it still remains.

Above it all, love remains —

Oh darling, love remains.

Yeah, we’ll be one flesh, one flame,

Two souls, one holy name.

Above it all, love remains.
