Our first dance song during our wedding was probably one that only a few in the room/barn knew but one that was super impactful for me for many many years. “A Page is Turned” by Bebo Norman is sung by an artist that my girlfriends and I met on a Young Life trip to Malibu in high school and became an obsession for all of us and me well Into my college years and beyond (his Pandora station is one of my faves). I had always thought it would be the perfect wedding song before I had a partner to marry and then as I was planning our special day with Scott and listened to the lyrics, my eyes were filled with tears on how perfect and God-orchestrated the words were for us and our story filled with storms and preparing “the one to hold (us) up when (we) come undone”.

A page is turned by the wind to a boy in curly grin
With a world to conquer at the age of ten
But as history unfolds and the storybook is told
He finds salvation but not at the hands of man

And the God of second chance
Picked him up and He let him dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, preparing him, the one
To hold him up when he comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And now a man, here you stand
Your day has come

A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl
With a heart that’s bigger, as it is unfurled
By the language in her soul, that’s teaching her to grow
With a careful cover of love that will not fail

And the God of second chance
Picked her up and He let her dance
Through a world that isn’t kind
And all this time, preparing her the one
To hold her up when she comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And grown up tall, here you are
Your day has come

Beneath the air of autumn, she took him by the hand
And warm beneath the ardor, she took his heart instead
And high upon the mountain, he asked her for her hand….just for her hand

 A page is turned in this life, he’s making her his wife
And there is no secret to the source of this much lifeWhen the grace falls like rain is washing them again
Just a chance to somehow rise above this land

Where the God of second chance
Will pick them up and He’ll let them danceThrough a world that is not kind
And all this time, they’re sharing with the one
That holds them up when they come undoneBeneath the storm, beneath the sun
And once again, here you stand
And once again, here you stand
Your day has come

To Scott….thank you for always holding me up when I’ve come undone. And dancing with me through all the storms and all the sun. One day more and one day less…..until there are no more days to count. I love you.
