The path from here to there is endlessly long
The bride stands silent, stilling sight and song
To choose this road transcends what’s right or wrong
Reason led her here; now faith must make her strong
Before her lies a winding way unknown
Uncertainty into every step is sown
Yet there’s this mysterious feeling of returning home
Though people abound, she stands alone
Leaving the shores of what she knows to be safe
Traversing the wilderness of the aisle she musters faith
With trembling heart, she steps toward her mate
Devoted, no matter the travails that await
A chasm opens with a fall so deep
She must leap
She begins to weep
Yet burns with a love greater than the ocean’s sweep
She breathes
Looks beneath
She believes
Her soul she unsheathes
She leaps to this mysterious man
One she’ll never fully understand
Trusting He will catch her in His hands
And venture together to the promised land
