Today Terese and I celebrate 10 years of marriage. Celebrate with us with a song that has become one of our favorites: Dancing in the Minefields.
I was nineteen, you were twenty-oneThe year we got engagedEveryone said we were much too youngBut we did it anyway
We bought our rings for forty eachFrom a pawn shop down the roadWe made our vows and took the leapNow fifteen years ago
We went dancing in the minefieldsWe went sailing in the stormAnd it was harder than we dreamedBut I believe that's what the promise is for
"I do" are the two most famous last wordsThe beginning of the endBut to lose your life for another I've heardIs a good place to begin
'Cause the only way to find your lifeIs to lay your own life downAnd I believe it's an easy priceFor the life that we have found
And we're dancing in the minefieldsWe're sailing in the stormThis is harder than we dreamedBut I believe that's what the promise is for
So when I lose my way, find meWhen I loose love's chains, bind meAt the end of all my faith, till the end of all my daysWhen I forget my name, remind me
'Cause we bear the light of the Son of ManSo there's nothing left to fearSo I'll walk with you in the shadowlandsTill the shadows disappear
'Cause he promised not to leave usAnd his promises are trueSo in the face of all this chaosI can dance with you
Thanks, @andrewpeterson, for some really great music. You can purchase his music on iTunes, or, better yet, you'll find his music and books here.
