Lyrics
Verse 1
And He is preparing
A wedding for the Son
The King is jealous
To marry His fair one
And life is, but a moment
Here today and tomorrow fades
Point of existence
Leading to a wedding day
Chorus
And down this road
We journey now
Together we will love
The story told
Now it unfolds
Forever we will be one
And down this road
We journey now
Together we will love
The story told
Now it unfolds
Forever we will be one
Bridge
It is for a garden we weep
A paradise that we crave
Back in time, now forward
To another age
A high mountain we seek
The one above it is free
Back in time, now forward
To another age
It is for a garden we weep
A paradise that we crave
Back in time, now forward
To another age
A high mountain we seek
The one above it is free
Back in time, now forward
To another age
Chorus 2
And this one thing we surely know
We'll be changed and we'll be clothed
And this one thing we surely know
We will reap all which was sown
And this one thing we surely know
That trials will come and trials will go
And this one thing we surely know
That love gives all, demands the soul
And this one thing we surely know
That life is found in letting go
And this one thing we surely know
Life is short so here we go
So here we go

Meaning & Inspiration
Wedding Song is a worship song that looks ahead to the marriage of the Son and His people. The first verse says that God is preparing a wedding for the Son, that the King is jealous to marry His fair one, and that life is a moment that points toward a wedding day. The chorus pictures walking down that road, loving together, and a story told that unfolds into being one forever.
The bridge turns to longing for a lost garden and a coming paradise, moving back in time and then forward to another age, and a high mountain that is sought. The second chorus lists certainties: believers will be changed and clothed, they will reap what was sown, trials will come and go, love gives all, and life is found in letting go. The imagery follows Revelation 19:7 on the marriage of the Lamb, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 on being changed, and Galatians 6:7 on reaping what is sown. The repeated lines give the song a hopeful, expectant tone.
