Blessing You

August 20, 2004. Commitment ceremony with Linda at Menucha. Len sang this Marsha Stevens song.

Bless the home created here that lifts Your holy name, dear God, please hear us now.
Bless each word of promise spoken, bless the rings they give, a seal of this holy vow.
Bless the life they’ve chosen now, serving You forever.
Bless the love they’ve given here, keep them safe together.
Blessing the bond of these two,
Blessing us, blessing You.

Keep them a true family, guide them with Your light—
Partners in passion and lovers in life.

Take any heart of coldness here and warm it with the love we feel between these two.
Take our broken promises, God, take our broken lives and heal as only You can do.
Bind our hearts in mission now serving You forever.
Bless each vow that we renew, keep us safe together,
Blessing the bond of these two,
Healing us, blessing You.
