We Come to This Moment


We come to this moment
With all our hopes and dreams
To form a living river
From two flowing vibrant streams.

In this sacred moment
New creation is begun--
God takes our individual lives
And molds them into one.

We come to this moment--
We come to seek God’s face
With open lives before Him--
His mercy and His grace:

Mercy and forgiveness
For mistakes that we have made;
His grace and restoration
In His Love for this day.

We bring to this moment
The lives that we have lived
Redeemed through God’s salvation—
The eternal life He gives.

All we are, all we have been,
He recreates in love--
Transforms us through His power
With wisdom from above.

We offer now before His throne
The gifts that we’ve received
To claim as Gift each other
In the Promise we’ve believed:

The Promise of His Presence—
That He would always be
The eternal bond of love
Uniting you with me.

We come now to this moment
To pledge our love and life—
Each one to the other,
As husband and as wife.
