Open - Squeeze

Standing at the altar

With his bride to be beside

Through the stained glass window

Came down a beam of light

The weight of the commitment

Poured over him with fear

Like ice cream in a filling

Now the future’s finally here

His soul had been replenished

By the words the vicar read

The organist dissected

All the pieces she’d been fed

Open your hands

Where once was a steeple

Then look within

At all of the people

Family and friends

In this congregation

Open your heart

To this celebration

The choir pitched in early

As his heart began to rip

His anxiety was swollen

With the quiver of a lip

He looked around the chapel

Seeing everybody there

He slowly fell to pieces and was only too aware

The vows were something special

So much deeper than he’d thought

Commitment bound in footsteps

That would be a lifelong walk

Standing in the picture with his family all around

Proud to see their Father

Finally put the anchor down

She had offered amnesty for a multitude of sins

Through the stained glass window her love shone down on him
