Verse 1
Oh, now you come to me
You bring your love to me
A gift of love to me, you come to me

Oh, now the song's begun
Two hearts become as one
Bound together by the Son, we'll live as one

Oh, now this holy union
Come Lord in sweet communion
Bring now our lives together
In oneness with the Father
That our lives may bring glory to Your name

Meaning & Inspiration
"Song for a Christian Wedding" is written to be sung inside a ceremony rather than about one from a distance. Chuck Girard addresses both the couple and God within the same lines, moving from "you bring your love to me" between partners to "we bring our love to You" directed at the Lord, tying the two relationships together.
The phrase "two hearts become as one, bound together by the Son" places Christ at the center of the union rather than treating the wedding as a purely personal milestone. The request for "sweet communion" and unity "in oneness with the Father" frames marriage as an arrangement meant to glorify God rather than only the couple involved.
As a wedding song, it offers language for a ceremony that keeps faith explicit throughout, useful for couples who want their vows framed within worship rather than set apart from it.
