Make Them One...





My brother...


Take this bride you see, 


Stand beside her 
                    faithfully.




                                  Cherish her
in tender love,


Stay with her until your days are done.



And thank the Lord each day 
                   He's made you one...


In His love.


                                  Bride, today
shall fulfill your dreams;




This man may your husband be.


Serve him with 
                undying love,



Let him know that he's your 
                                         Only one.



And thank the Lord each day He's made you one...



In His love.


                                                   Father above,
        may these children see



All You want their
              love to be...


Carry them through their darkest times...




Lead them in Your 
                        Everlasting Light


Purify their hearts with
                          Holy Fire.



Make them
      One.

This is the Lord's doing; 
It is marvelous in our eyes.
