This Kind of Love

It seems like we've waited for a lifetime,

Just to be standing in this place.

We both were praying for the right one;

I know my search is over by the look on your face.

There's more to love than just this feeling,

Promises more than words can say.

We'll put our trust in the hands of the Lord; 

There's no other substitute, no other way.

This kind of love is for a lifetime.

We're given one lifetime to love.

And when these moments here are over, 

And we've shared our vows together, 

Then we'll begin to live forever.

This kind of love.

We've placed our lives upon this altar,

To show the world it can be done.

Ours is a faith that will not falter,

Our God is able to complete what He's begun.

This kind of love is for a lifetime.

We're given one lifetime to love.

And when these moments here are over, 

And we've shared our vows together, 

Then we'll begin to live forever.

This kind of love.

I will always love you, never turn away, no.

I will hold and keep you, through every joy and tear

You know that I will be here.

This kind of love is for a lifetime.

We're given one lifetime to love.

And when our days on earth are over, 

And we've shared our lives together, 

Then we will live with Him forever.

This kind of love.
