My Favorite Wedding Songs

Which wedding songs will I choose for my wedding day, especially for the holy matrimony? I've already  had my list long ago before I knew who will be my groom. But, why only for the holy matrimony? Because I think it's easier to put your favorite wedding songs in the holy matrimony than in the traditional wedding reception. I'm ready to say goodbye to my wedding dream, and say hello to the complicated bataknese tradition. Well, here are my list of favorite wedding songs.

1. Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring

    Composer : Johan Sebastian Bach Cantata No. 147

    This one maybe the first song when I'm walking down the aisle. Hopeeee soooo...

  

2. Grace alone

    Artist : Christina Hamilton

    Here are the lyric, love it!

Every promise we can make

Every prayer and step of faith

Every difference we can make

is only by His grace

Every mountain we will climb

Every ray of hope we shine

Every blessing left behind

is only by His grace

(Chorus)

Grace alone which God supplies

Strength unknown He will provide

Christ in us our corner stone

We will go forth in grace alone

Every soul we long to reach

Every heart we hope to teach

Everywhere we share His peace

is only by His grace

Every loving word we say

Every tear we wipe away

Every sorrow turn to praise

is only by His grace

(chorus)

3. Father we commit to You

    Composer : Unknown

God before us, God beside
God within us abide
God in heaven and in this place
father we commit to You this day

God in pleaure, God in pain
God will ever remaind
God in gladness and God in strife
father we commit to You our lives

For we know, that you re faithfull
Through the stillness and the storm
For you've been with us from the start
Father we commit to You our hearts

Link Father we commit to you

4. Be Thou my Vision

    Traditional ireland hymn.

    English versification by Eleanor Hull, 1912.

    Indonesian translation : KJ 405 ( Kaulah ya Tuhan, Surya hidupku )

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,

Be all else naught to me, save that thou art;

Thou my best thought in the day and the night,

Both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light.

Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word,

Be thou ever with me, and I with thee Lord;

Be thou my great Father, and I thy true son;

Be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.

Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;

Be thou my whole armour, be thou my true might;

Be thou my soul's shelter, be thou my strong tower:

O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise:

Be thou mine inheritance now and always;

Be thou and thou only the first in my heart;

O Sovereign of Heaven, my treasure thou art.

High King of Heaven, thou Heaven's bright sun,

O grant me its joys after victory is won!;

Great heart of my own heart, whatever befall,

Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
