I love this song!!

I heard a really good song on marriage today... "Dancing in the Minefields" by Andrew Peterson. I figured there are many here who can relate to the words.

Lyrics -

 

Well, I was 19, you were 21

The year we got engaged;

And everyone said we were much too young,

But we did it anyway.

We got the rings for 40 each from a pawn shop down the road;

We said our vows and took the leap, now 15 years ago.

 

Chorus:

And we went dancing in the minefields...

We went sailing in the storms...

And it was harder than we dreamed,

But I believe that’s what the promise is for.

 

Well ‘I do’ are the two most famous last words,

The beginning of the end;

But to lose your life for another, I’ve heard, is a good place to begin.

'Cause the only way to find your life is to lay your own life down;

And I believe it’s an easy price for the life that we have found.

 

Chorus:

And we’re dancing in the minefields...

We're sailing in the storms...

And it was harder than we dreamed,

But I believe that’s what the promise is for...

That’s what the promise is for.

 

So when I lose my way, find me...

When I lose love's chains, bind me...

At the end of all my faith,

To the end of all my days,

When I forget my name,

Remind me.

 

'Cause we bear the light of the Son of man,

So there’s nothing left to fear;

So I’ll walk with you in the shadow lands

Till the shadows disappear.

'Cause He promised not to leave us,

And His promises are true...

So in the face of all this chaos, baby,

I can dance with you.

 

Chorus:

So let's go dancing in the minefields...

Let's go sailing in the storms...

Oh, let's go dancing in the minefields...

And kicking down the doors...

Oh, let's go dancing in the minefields...

And sailing in the storms...

Oh, this is harder than we dreamed,

But I believe that’s what the promise is for...

That’s what the promise is for.
