Altar Steps

The wooden doors swing open wide

A quiet hush across the

aisle

Her father whispers by her side

And holds her tears

behind a smile

Generations watch her pace

Mother's lace upon her gown

Every step

an act of grace

As soft white petals settle

down

Walk slowly to

the

altar stone

Surrounded by the ones who know

You never walked this road alone

Love held your hand

to let you

go (ooh-ooh)

Eyes meet at the front of room

A lifetime gathered in this space

A hand extended to the

groom

With blessing in

a father's embrace

Walk slowly to the

altar stone

Surrounded by the ones who know

You never walked this road alone

Love held your hand to let you go (ah-ah)

Here begins

the open skies (hummmm)
