Lyrics
SO THEY MAY MARRY
(A parents wedding thoughts and prayer)
Seems like yesterday
A child waiting to grow
Dream are born this day
When I shall let you go
Where did the years all go?
God only knows
I gave my love to you
From the moment you were born
Now the feelings are bursting through
Bearing smiles the years have worn
Oh my child in a love so true
Let me say this prayer for you?
Oh Lord above
Join these two with Your tender love
In every step along the way
Guide them with the love they vow this day
Listen Lord please hear me pray
SO THEY MAY MARRY...Yes now I ask?
Oh Lord
Join these two with your tender love
If ever they may go astray
Guide them to the love they vow this day
Listen Lord please hear me pray
You're on your way?Go now and marry?
The child who I carried
Now you may marry
Look, they are married?
