When I was born my parents smiled
And held my tiny hand
And as I grew they prayed to God
For when I became a man
Loving and teaching me in all the things I'd do
For that day when I'd step forth and give my hand to you
When you were young on your daddy's knee
HeÕd look into your eyes
And wonder how your mom and he
Could help to shape your life
Preparing you for that day when you would take my hand
In the sunrise of our life
This is what God has planned
And God knew from the start
Just how to make our hearts
So that what he brought together
No man could tear apart
So here I stand before you now
With my heart forever true
And here you stand before me now
Giving yours up too
Now and forever, I give to you my hand
Because in the sunrise of our life
This is what God has planned
