about

I wrote this song for my wife (then girlfriend) before we were married. On our wedding day in March 2015 I assumed she would walk down the aisle to Wagner's Bridal Chorus (a.k.a. Here Comes The Bride). You can't imagine my shock (and embarrassment) when I heard my voice on the loudspeakers.

But as always her surprises are perfect. She planned it so that the doors opened right at 0:46 (listen for it). Talk about perfect timing. I am so happy that she said yes, and I hope that many more brides will utter a joyful "YES!" after hearing this song. It's also a great reminder that prayer is a integral part of marriage and both husband and wife should commit to praying for one another as often as possible.

I hope you are blessed by this.

-Fenton

lyrics

LYRICS:


How do we define this thing we have?
How exactly do we put us in a box?
How do we wrap these years up
with a little red bow on top?


What if you took my hand in love?
What if we spent our lives together?
What if we believed that God could do it?
What if we stayed in love forever?


What if we just believed that His word is true?
What if you stood next to me and just said I do?


What if you exchanged your name for mine?
Well that sounds mighty fine
Would you do this for the rest of your life?

_____________


Would you be my wife?
Would you be my wife?
Let me be your husband
The love of your life

Would you be my wife?
Would you be my wife?
Let me be your husband
The love of your life

And I promise I'll pray (I'll pray)
In the morning (in the morning)
In the evening (in the evening)
No I'll never miss a beat
I'll pray (I'll pray)
In the morning (in the morning)
In the evening (in the evening)

If I ever miss a beat then you'll pray (you'll pray)
In the morning (in the morning)
In the evening (in the evening)
No we'll never see defeat cuz you'll pray (you'll pray)
In the morning (in the morning)
In the evening (in the evening)

In the name of our Saviour we'll pray.

_____________

How can we expect our life to change
if we're not willing to step up and change it?
How can we expect such a beautiful marriage
if we're not willing to work to make it?

Last time I wrote you a song I was singing about just how the Lord has blessed you...
Three years later got ring on your finger and I'm singing about all our future treasure

Cuz I know that we're blessed
and I know that we're favoured
and the Lord hears our prayers
and He sees that we labour

to His glory, to His honor,
in the name Father
will you join me for the rest of your life?

_____________

Would you be my wife?
Would you be my wife?
Let me be your husband
The love of your life

Would you be my wife?
Would you be my wife?
Let me be your husband
The love of your life

And I promise I'll pray (I'll pray)
In the morning (in the morning)
In the evening (in the evening)
No I'll never miss a beat
I'll pray (I'll pray)
In the morning (in the morning)
In the evening (in the evening)

If I ever miss a beat then you'll pray (you'll pray)
In the morning (in the morning)
In the evening (in the evening)
No we'll never see defeat cuz you'll pray (you'll pray)
In the morning (in the morning)
In the evening (in the evening)

In the name of our Saviour we'll pray

We'll pray

In the name of our Saviour we'll pray
