Story behind the songs:
Gift of Love If you are looking for songs for a wedding, this is the perfect song for the mother/groom dance. It has also been used for the parent's entrance, and performed at rehearsal dinners in more intimate settings. Gift of Love was written when Mary Margaret's son was getting married and she sang it at the rehearsal dinner. In the song, the mother is singing first to her son, and then to her future daughter-in-law. It touches on the feelings that moms have knowing that their role has changed in their son's life. Her feelings are mixed with "happiness and tears". If you are the mother of a son, I'm sure you will be touched by Gift of Love. The instrumental track is available.
Gift of Love MM Dement
When I look at you, my Son that's grown into a fine young man. * I can't believe the time has gone so fast. * It seems just yesterday you were young. * And it takes me back to the day that we became a family * and dreams I had became reality * and I marveled at the gift God gave to me. * And when I held you in my arms and looked into your eyes * I felt a love I'd never known before * I vowed to God above, from this moment on * I would cherish this precious Gift of Love. * When I look at you, the Beauty that has captured my Son's heart. * I knew that it was love right from the start. * From the day you met, he just had eyes for you. * And the time has come, soon you will become his loving Bride. * With happiness and tears I'll step aside. * But there's something I must know before I do. * When you hold him in your arms and look into his eyes, * Do you feel a love you've never known before* Do you vow to God above, from this moment on, * You will cherish this precious Gift of Love. * The gift God gave to me... and now He's given you. * Please cherish this precious Gift of Love.
Jordan's Song Written by David when his daughter, his first child, was born. This song has been sung at many weddings as the Bride is walking down the isle. If timed just right, it can bring tears to your eyes as the Bride, escorted by her Father, reaches the alter to stand side by side with the Groom. After you read the words, you will understand why.
Jordan's Song WD Kyle
I know that she'll grow up someday * Before I know it she'll be on her way * But there's one place she'll always stay * Here in my heart. * I know she'll have to try her wings * From teddy bears to diamond rings * But she'll have room for all those things * Here in my heart. * I know that I see God when I look into her eyes * I hear His joy and laughter in every little cry * I could search this whole world through and I know I'll never find * A miracle as beautiful as mine * I know she'll have to try her wings * From teddy bears to diamond rings * But she'll have room for all those things * Here in my heart * And someday when she meets her King * And childhood's played its final scene * I know that she will always be * That little girl of mine.

Family MM Dement
When I need a shoulder to cry on * or a hand to hold when I'm scared. * When the song I sing needs harmony * or a voice to lift up my prayer * I know the ones I can turn to * I know the ones who care * In sun or rain, in joy or pain * I know they will be there * I've got my Family standing beside me * times when I'm not strong and my heart has lost it's song * they help me overcome * I've got my family loving me always * through thick and thin * until the end * I've got my family. * And though there's times we can't be together * they're always on my mind * with a love that's strong * a special bond * blessed be the tie that binds *
