*(Elegant piano with strings)*

**[VERSE 1 - GROOM]**
My beloved, you have waited with your lamp burning bright
Like the wise virgins in the parable, you prepared for this night
I have come to take you home, to be forever mine
Our covenant of love reflects the love that is divine

**[VERSE 2 - BRIDE]**
My beloved, I have watched and waited for this day
Kept my heart devoted, didn't let my oil decay
Now you've come to claim me, and my joy is complete
At the wedding feast of heaven, where our two hearts meet

**[CHORUS - BRIDE & GROOM TOGETHER]**
The wedding is ready, the Bridegroom has come! *(Echo: He has come!)*
Our love is a picture of Christ and His own! *(Echo: And His own!)*
United forever, two hearts now made one *(Echo: Now made one!)*
A covenant of glory, like Father and Son! *(Echo: And the Son!)*
Let the celebration ring through every nation! *(Echo: Every nation!)*
This is more than romance, it's divine revelation! *(Echo: Revelation!)*

**[VERSE 3 - GROOM]**
Just as Christ pursued the Church with sacrificial love
I pursue you daily, guided from above
I will lay my life down, cherish and adore
Honor you and love you, now and evermore

**[VERSE 4 - BRIDE]**
Just as the Church submits to Christ with reverence and grace
I will honor and respect you all my living days
Together we'll serve Jesus, build His kingdom here
Walking hand in hand, casting out all fear

**[CHORUS - BRIDE & GROOM TOGETHER]**
The wedding is ready, the Bridegroom has come! *(Echo: He has come!)*
Our love is a picture of Christ and His own! *(Echo: And His own!)*
United forever, two hearts now made one *(Echo: Now made one!)*
A covenant of glory, like Father and Son! *(Echo: And the Son!)*
Let the celebration ring through every nation! *(Echo: Every nation!)*
This is more than romance, it's divine revelation! *(Echo: Revelation!)*
