To Have And To Hold lyrics

To Have And To Hold

APRIL RAPIER, BOB OLDREIVE & JOE LINDLEY



God has taken his time showing his hand

But you know, I’m not complaining

Because He showed me the way to have and to hold

And love without explaining

I have wandered the world searching for something

That I just couldn’t see

When I look in your eyes, it’s so easy to tell

I’m where I’m meant to be



chorus 

When I talk to you I feel so alive

I want to be with you ‘til day becomes night

And I run to you when life seems so cold

You teach me to have and to hold



When pride leads the way, well, it can empty a heart

Blind to what really matters

You bring out my best and you make me believe

Love is here ever after

And when I stopped looking—there you were

As though you’d been waiting for me

The mistakes and the tears just disappeared

A leap of faith and I can finally see



chorus



bridge Who are we in the end,

but who we love and where we stand?



So I’ll stay by your side as we grow up together

And smile as the world passes by

Every moment we share will be something special

‘Cause you’ve still got that gleam in your eye

I know that you love me—now, what could be better?

Time has proven you’re worth the wait

And God’s gift to me is our life together

No more running from fate
