First Dance Song with scripture

We are looking for a song to have our first dance to that is Biblically based...but doesn't sound like a traditional church song. Something similar sounding to Set Me as a Seal by Matt Maher (which we can't use for certain reasons)

Re: First Dance Song with scripture

  • can't use cause its in 3/4 time?  :) just kidding. He wrote another song that is beautiful...not quite scripture quotes in it, but if you hear the story, its quite meaningful. The story is cool in the beginning, but listen to it to hear the rest of the story  halfway through.

    Couple other guys I know personally that Christopher West promotes: they write music that has biblical/song of songs symbols and poetry, but also not exact scripture quotes (but really close--definitely biblically imagery).
    Vince Schurman (sp) (also known as Army of Me)-- look at "Heart of Love", and Mike Mangione.

    Also, while this is a Christian praise song, it fits really well

    Michael John Poirier:   "For Life"

    Will you pray with me for wisdom to know and to follow the will of God, will you wait in silence on bended knee, will you take my hand, will you pray with me for life.

    -- there's more but I don't have it in front of me. 
  • I did more listening, and I was incorrect--the songs I prefer to stay away from are the ones featuring organ. Flute/light sounds would be fine.
  • How about "Hold us together" by Matt Maher?
  • I don't have any suggestions, but I love that idea!!!  
  • There is love by Peter, Paul, and Mary (If you aren't already using it in your ceremony.)
  • Hmm, this might be tough to dance to (tempo!) but it could be useful elsewhere (photo montage, perhaps)?  Chris Tomlin's "I Will Follow."

    My husband and I had our first dance to "Where You Are" (FFH).  Happy memories!  Sniffle . . .
