Ready to echo the most beautiful picture:
The story of redemption between Christ and His bride.<\/p>\n
God\u2019s truth is never in question:
I love you, I love you,<\/em>
I will sacrifice for you, I love you.<\/em><\/p>\n
God\u2019s truth is secure:
I bought you, I paid the price, I will come for my bride.<\/em><\/p>\n
Let me not forget the deep purpose,
The most beautiful meaning,
A glorious picture that will play out,
as I approach the alter,
a place of sacrifice,
To begin a marriage built on sacrificial love.<\/p>\n
Focus my affections,
Lead me this day and forever,
Amen.<\/strong><\/p>\n
