Christian CONTEMPORARY unity candle song

mrsgonzalez2b

Our wedding is in 30 days and I feel like I have so much left to do! YIKES!  One of my top priorities is finding a song to play during the lighting of the unity candle.  I have found several songs that I like the words, but the music kills it for me.  Do any of you know of a song that sounds good and has good lyrics for this?  Anything helps!  Thanks!

we are using the song, "Hold You Up" by Matthew West for the unity candle lighting. It's a beautiful song but our two friends will be singing it over an acustic guitar. Hope this helps

We're using "Heavenly Day" for our unity ceremony.

We are using When I say I do by Matthew West. The first time I heard it I knew that was the song I was going to use.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!  We're getting married in 5 weeks and have not been able to agree on our first dance.  I've never heard of Matthew West before but decided to take a listen on youtube... FI walked in, we listened again, turned to each other and said 'this is it!!"  :D  It could not be more perfect.  YAY!!!

We are also using When I Say I Do by Matthew West for our unity candle ceremony.  FI and I love that song!

I've been trying to figure out music as well. This helps a lot.  We weren't planning on having a soloist, however hearing the words to some of these songs makes me feel as if I have to because the words are so beautiful.
