    Lyrics:
    Take my hand
    I won’t let go
    We’ve waited so long
    And all my life
    I walked alone
    To you, my heart, my home
    Like the first man
    I was cut so deep by heaven’s knife
    When I awoke from my sleep
    Oh my Lord, she’s beautiful
    She’s a part of me
    She’s my wife
    Bound by love
    One flesh to be
    An unbroken ring
    And I lay down
    My life for thee
    In this we are free
    Like the first man
    I was cut so deep by heaven’s knife
    When I awoke from my sleep
    Oh my Lord, she’ s beautiful
    Walking up to me
    Oh she’s wonderful, standing next to me
    Oh she’s all
    All that I can see, yeah
    She’s beautiful, she’s a part of me
    She’s my wife

    Even though this song is about Adam and Eve, I like to think about "she's beautiful walking up to me, she's wonderful standing next to me" "She's a part of me, she's my wife" and remember that marriage is a reflection of christ and the church. This is how Jesus is going to see us when we are fully united with him for all of eternity. Our unity with christ is so intimate that we are his body, and he has purchased us as his bride. As a single person i find this comforting that even though I might not experience earthly marriage, it is only a reflection of what we will experience with Jesus for eternity.

    I just realized that when he sings "Like the first man, I was cut so deep by heavens's knife", he's talking about Adam, when God was creating Eve, from his rib. "When I awoke from my sleep, oh my Lord, she's beautiful", it's kind of a reference to when Adam first saw Eve. That's so much more meaningful now! This song is art.

    Really struggled to find the perfect first dance song for my wedding. But I think I've just found it. This is wonderful. So many "romantic" songs have lyrics that are shallow or cliche. Or they simply fail to capture the true meaning of Christian love. On the other hand, a good chunk of Christian music is, frankly, bland. Thank you, Josh Garrels, for using your talents to write Christ-honoring, lyrically rich, and musically engaging songs. They are a blessing.

    Who can get to Heaven without prayer: “I say unto you that ye must pray always and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul.”
    “And I pray the Father in the name of Christ that many of us, if not all, may be saved in his kingdom at that great and last day.”
    The Savior said to the ancient inhabitants of America, “Therefore ye must always pray unto the Father in my name;
    “And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you.
    “Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed.”
    “And the twelve did teach the multitude; and behold, they did cause that the multitude should kneel down upon the face of the earth, and should pray unto the Father in the name of Jesus.
    “And the disciples did pray unto the Father also in the name of Jesus. And it came to pass that they arose and ministered unto the people.
    “And when they had ministered those same words which Jesus had spoken-nothing varying from the words which Jesus had spoken-behold, they knelt again and prayed to the Father in the name of Jesus.”
    “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure.”
    “I am mindful of you always in my prayers, continually praying unto God the Father in the name of his Holy Child, Jesus, that he, through his infinite goodness and grace, will keep you through the endurance of faith on his name to the end.”
    Concerning the Book of Mormon, Moroni wrote, “And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
    “And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.”
    Nephi, a Book of Mormon prophet, wrote, “And if they are not the words of Christ, judge ye-for Christ will show unto you with power and great glory that they are his words at the last day; and you and I shall stand face to face before his bar; and ye shall know that I have been commanded of him to write these things.”
    All these verses and more are in the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon truly is a testimony of Jesus Christ and has been brought forth by the power of God in these latter days. Anyone who believes these words from the Book of Mormon (and I know these words are true) should contact the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to speak with the missionaries and find out for themselves that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored in these latter days.

      The Book of Mormon also says that we can be gods someday which is completely shut down by God when he says there are no other gods and that he doesn’t even know of any. Mormonism also commits the fallacy of infinite regress in its theology. That is only scratching the surface of what is keeping Mormonism from the truth. I would encourage you to read the true Gospel of the Bible with an open and honest heart to find truth. I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit.

      Hes referring to how God put Adam to a deep sleep to cut his side and remove a rib in order to create a wife, Eve. In no way is he comparing a woman to a knife. Blessings in Jesus name.
