The Wedding Prayer

So, I am preparing to marry, who I am convinced, is the most wonderful man in the world! The Lord did provide. However, wedding preparation is not all that it is cracked up to be. Don't be fooled. In the midst of it I have often found myself feeling very inadequate, and not up to the task. But, there are fleeting moments when brilliant ideas do come to me. And thank the Lord one did, I found a song! And not just any song, it is going to be sung at my wedding and it is a song that exemplifies all that I hope my marriage will be. It is my wedding prayer...

Jesus, You are
Jesus, You were
Jesus, You will always be
a perfect servant to us
a perfect servant to death
even death on a cross.

Lord,
give us picture of Your face
show us the measures of Your grace
reveal the love of the Father
put within us tenderness
release from us all selfishness
That we'll consider the other better
Jesus, we are Yours
give us hearts of servants.

All we have is yours
give us hearts of servants.

(Philippians 2:3-8)
