Soundtrack To I Do

Happy Friday everyone! For this week’s first dance picks, I thought I’d share some very sweet and romantic songs by Christian artists. For those of you who would like to include your faith in certain (or all) parts of your wedding day.

1) God Gave Me You – Dave Barnes

On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you

2) When I Say I Do – Matthew West

There must be a God, I believe its true.
Cause I can see His love, when I look at you.
And he must have a plan for this crazy life.
Because He brought you here and placed you by my side.

And I have never been so sure of anything before,
Like I am in this momment here with you
Now for better or for worse are so much more than only words
And I pray everyday will be the proof
That I mean what I say when I say ‘I do’
Yeah I mean what I Say when I say ‘I do’

3) Love Never Fails – Brandon Heath

Love will sustain
Love will provide
Love will not cease
At the end of time

Love will protect
Love always hopes
Love still believes
When you don’t

Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you

4) Dancing In The Minefields – Andrew Peterson

“I do” are the two most famous last words
The beginning of the end
But to lose your life for another I’ve heard
Is a good place to begin

‘Cause the only way to find your life
Is to lay your own life down
And I believe it’s an easy price
For the life that we have found

5) Amen – Daves Barnes  (Sorry about the strange video, I couldn’t find a normal one.)

We will have friends, we will have peace
There will be nights of lights and music till you sleep
We will be strong though we were still weak
We live through so much more than we could take

Amen, Amen
With the dawn the love began again
Amen, Amen
What is done and yet to come, Amen

This week’s first dance picks are in honor of my friend Lynsie, who like myself, is a HUGE Disney fan. (Because I was hanging out with her last night and we discussed Disney songs – in case any of my other Disney obsessed friends are feeling snubbed. And now that I say that, I realize how many of my friends LOVE Disney, and it makes me happy. But I digress.) For those of you out there, perhaps who are even having a magical Disneyland/World wedding, here are some sweet Disney tunes to make for a romantic and magical first dance.

1. So This Is Love – Cinderella

So this is love
So this is love
So this is what makes life divine
I’m all aglow
And now I know
The key to all heaven is mine

2. Can You Feel The Love Tonight – The Lion King

And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It’s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it’s laid to rest
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

3. Tale As Old As Time – Beauty And The Beast

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

4. Once Upon A Dream – Sleeping Beauty

I know you
I walked with you once upon a dream.
I know you
The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yes, I know it’s true
that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you’ll do
You’ll love me at once
the way you did once upon a dream

5. Love Is A Song – Bambi

Love is a song that never ends
One simple theme repeating
Like the voice of a heavenly choir
Love’s sweet music flows on
