From the recording The Hand That Leads Me Home
Lyrics
Some will say with a shrug, “You’re young, and we hope you can make it?”
But three chords in one strand is harder still to break it
Lash your hearts to His as your love begins the promise of your years
Let your sacrifice for the other’s life be selfless, kind and fierce
Here’s to your first steps
Here’s to the dance
Here’s to a life-time to love and to walk hand in hand
And here’s to small giggles that someday may come
As you seek His face together
As you live with no regrets
As you love as you’ve been loved
As you take your first steps
Finding true love, so they say, is like a flash of lightning
It will strike where it may and to raise a rod is frightening
But the choice is yours, love’s a tender forge you offer as a gift
Each and every day, show the other grace and don’t forget to kiss!
Here’s to your first steps
And here’s to the dance
Here’s to a life-time to love and to walk hand in hand
And here’s to small giggles that someday may come
As you seek His face together
As you live with no regrets
As you love as you’ve been loved
And there you both stand on the edge of a canyon
Your future is wide and it’s deep
The path is unknown, but you won’t be alone
So trust in His care and then leap
Here’s to your first steps
And here’s to the dance
Here’s to a life-time to love and to walk hand in hand
And here’s to small giggles that someday may come
As you seek His face together
As you live with no regrets
As you love as you’ve been loved
You’ve got to love as you’ve been loved!
As you take your first steps
