Lyrics
We gather here today
To celebrate the blessings of a new love
As you look around this place
Feel the faith and nurturing of new love
Now take her by the hand
And give her your heart
She is the answer to your prayers
Now look into his eyes
Embracing his love
He is the one to share your dreams
Your union here today
Defines the strength and beauty of your new love
As you say the words "I do"
Give a life and shelter to your new love
Lift the veil from your face
And give him your heart
He is the answer to your prayers
Place the ring upon her hand
Embracing her love
She is the one to share your dreams
In the moment of your kiss
The universe celebrates your new love
With the union of your lives
Seek honesty and goodness through your new love
As you dance with time
Be gentle and kind
Remember the love that brought you here
This covenant of love
Is a gift from above
So grow your love with gratitude
Bless this new love
Give thanks to new love
Believe in new love
Then know your love
And be your love
