Eph 5 Love Story / 以弗所爱的故事

Some time back, this song was inspired for our friends' wedding which a group of us performed for their church wedding.

It holds a special place in my heart because this is the first song that was inspired after I had become a Christian and it's a song of joy and hope. The songs composed before I believed were all songs expressing disappointment when people close to me had let me down in one way or another and thus this gift and the discovery that I can write uplifting songs is a delight to me.

This is made public after the personal portion of the lyrics have been changed to protect the couple's privacy as and acts as a record of my complete Mandarin lyrics. You can preview the audio below:

Girl: Light of her smile, a stirring in him

Shy advances, first steps from him

Guy: Once in darkness, now hope arising

Will she come to me Lord tell me?

Girl: Feeling empty, will he be coming?

Heart's uneasy, why am I waiting?

Guy: Patience darling, it's in His timing

Trust in Him for God is leading

Bridegroom & Bride: God is watching, two hearts beating

Beating as one, united in Him

Bridegroom: Pledged to love her, keep her holy

Bride: And submit to him in everything

Bridegroom & Bride: Older than time, like Adam & Eve
Bones of his bones, belonging to him
Bride: Great love story, profound mystery
Bridegroom: It's actually of Christ and His redeemed

女：回头一笑 已触动他心

慢腾前进 为与她亲近

男：本是迷茫 希望却降临

梦想能够与她同行

女：孤单侵灵 心里又空虚
沸腾情绪 坐立不定
男：安定心情 凡事有定期
万事都在天父手里

新郎与新娘：神守护你 两心欢喜

齐心共鸣 在他旨意里

新郎：全心全意 爱呵护你

新娘：把我的生命交托给你

新郎与新娘：像创世记里 亚当与妻

骨中的骨 全都属于

新娘：伟大爱历 深奥的秘密
新郎：其实是关于基督与他的子民

Special thanks to J for coming out with the chords and piano accompaniment. You've been a wonderful partner in this. :)

In addition, I'd like to record the new version. So if you're a male vocalist who is able to play the piano (preferred)/keyboard at the same time, let me know. It'll also be good if there is a recording facility. :)

I've made changes to the chords (mainly because I've lost the chord chart J has written out for me) and also because I was trying to convey subtle differences in mood (Hope you don't mind, J).

Do let me know your thoughts for this song. :)
