From the recording Come Away My Beloved (P)2000
Lyrics
What I Never Knew ( The Wedding Song)
What I never knew
Was all the time I looked for you
And like a baby child I needed you
I was in a painting on a wall
The people there they never moved at all
I wished to look beyond the veil
And see the eyes of my beloved shine I looked up at the stars above
And so far away I saw my love
I sought for ways to speak to her
As the years went by I heard a voice So deep inside begin to speak Daughter of my heart awaken I have called you to be my bride My spirit hurt from loneliness I needed one to hold me close To move inside my heart
And comfort all my fears
What I never knew
Was all the time I looked for you And like a child in a storm I needed you
Now we two are one
In Jesus Christ God's Son Who has called us both to be His bride forever
Through His saving blood
He redeemed us from the dead Into His kingdom of Love
