Lyrics
Verse 1
On this wedding day
I'm honored just to say
I love you
With all of my heart
As you walk my way
I vowed I'd never stray
I promise
That we'll never part
I was raised to believe
That a man should never cry
Let's you know I'm satisfied
So today I take you as my bride
Chorus
Let us cherish this hour
Our love forever, Amen
So let us cherish this hour
We'll never be lonely again
As the Lord allowed our lives
To intertwine
It's a blessing just to know
Forever and always
You will be mine
Verse 2
I wait so long to find
A love that would be mine
Then God sent you
My searching it is through
I know you're heaven sent
Nobody else could compliment
My calling the way that you do
I'm so grateful we can share this day
With all of our friends and family
As they begin to stand
And I extend to you my hand
In holy matrimony
Chorus (Repeat)
Vamp
Predestined hour
Our love forever
We'll stay together
Forever
I am yours and
You are mine, you are mine
I now pronounce you man and wife

Meaning & Inspiration
"Wedding Song" follows the shape of an actual ceremony, moving from vows exchanged at the altar to the pronouncement that closes it, "I now pronounce you man and wife." John P. Kee frames the relationship as something found rather than pursued alone, "I wait so long to find a love that would be mine, then God sent you."
The chorus asks the couple to "cherish this hour," naming the wedding day itself as a moment worth holding onto rather than rushing past toward the marriage that follows. The phrase "as the Lord allowed our lives to intertwine" credits God with the match rather than treating the relationship as coincidence.
As a wedding song, it stays close to the language of an actual ceremony, useful for a couple wanting their vows framed as an answer to prayer rather than only a romantic milestone reached.
