... a song for a wedding...

A friend of mine who's getting married this December asked me write a song for her when she marches down the aisle... I took it as a privilege of writing love songs - a thing i had stopped doing since high school. Here's the song... i hope to have it recorded someday... :)

Worth the Wait

jacobslove

Intro: A – E – D – E

A                E                D                     E                             A   E-D-E

I’ve often wondered how Adam’s face lit up when he saw Eve

A                      E          D                     E                              A E-D-E

Did he stare in space, afraid to move, so awed beyond belief?

F#m                    C#m                              D               E

And now walking on this aisle I begin to understand

F#m                C#m                D               E

How it was between the first woman and man…

Chorus 1

                        A                 E               D         E

For you are worth the wait, you are worth the wait

            D                     A

The Lord led me to love you

            Bm                  E

The way He had loved me

                  A             E                   D               E

You are worth the wait, you are worth the wait

D                           A                    D                 E

Today with everyone we share, today we celebrate

                        A – E – D – E

For you are worth the wait

A                                  E                      D                        E

Was Ruth apprehensive as she started out to gather stalks of

A          - E – D – E

wheat?

A                      E          D                     E                      A – E – D – E

Was Boaz captivated seeing her working in his field?

F#m                            C#m                       D                              E

In God’s sovereign will and plan He brought them to each other

F#m                            C#m                            D                     E

They trusted and they waited for the day they’ll be together

Bridge

D                                 A                      D                     A

Right now before the altar, right now before the cross

            D                          A                 G                      E

We’ll share this love we have in obedience to God’s call

        D               A                         D                A

And as I walk upon this aisle to say ‘I do’ to you

            D                     A                      G                                  E

We’ll live our lives in worship to the One who’s seen us through…

repeat Chorus 1 then

Chorus 2

                        A                 E               D                     E

And you are worth the wait, you are worth the wait

D                                 A

Today I’ll pledge my love for you

        D                             A

To God be all the glory due

            Bm                       C#m

We’ll follow Him our whole life through

D                     E          A – E – D – E – A

Worth the wait are you… (2x)
