Story Behind The Song

A friend of mine was getting married and they asked me to write something and the Lord gave me a song.

Song Description

It's about how many of us run to the alter with all types of preconceived notions filled with rainbows and lollypops when Marriage is really hard work and in order for it to work, you've got to work it!

Lyrics

Standing at the altar of good intention
Neither of us can see what lies ahead
Surrounded by well-meaning voices but they all fail to mention
That sometimes - two hearts find hurt instead

Wanting to go the distance - often meeting with resistance
And you can fail, even meaning well

So hold my hand and we will try, to take our love beyond the sky
And be the ones - who can overcome...

And if there's ever something I should miss...I promise you love,
I promise you this...

CHORUS: That if the storms tear down our walls
We'll stand together through it all and rise above
(we can rise above)
And if I miss your expectation, let there be no limitation - in our love
(never in our love)

And If there's ever something I should miss...I promise you love...
I PROMISE (repeat)
Angry words can make us rivals
Sticks and stones can break our hearts
But with arms wide open forgiveness promises love's survival
Step inside and let the healing start

Wanting to go the distance - always meeting with resistance
And you can fail, even meaning well


So hold my hand and we will try, to take our love beyond the sky
And be the ones - who can overcome...

And if there's ever something I should miss...I promise you love,
I promise you this...

CHORUS: That if the storms tear down our walls
We'll stand together through it all and we'll rise above
(we can rise above)
And if I miss your expectation, let there be no limitation - in our love
(never in our love)

And if there's ever something I should miss...I promise you love,
I promise you this...
