Lyrics and Longings

God of love, come claim this moment
for two lives now bound as one.
As we share this day of gladness
bless this marriage now begun
Give them wisdom
Give them patience
Help them live a life of love
Help them live a life of love

Perfect love, come grow within them,
in the ordinary tasks.
Every day may Grace be weaving
new surprises, Lord we ask
Give them joy and
understanding
May their love be born of you
May their love be born of you

Loving God, as we support them,
may our prayers be more than words.
Show us all how love in action
stoops to put another first.
Live within us
by your spirit
Let your love be seen in us
Let your love be seen in us.
