THIS LOVE WILL NEVER FAIL

Listen to the song; #10 on Reggie's Greatest Flops

1985 - This song was intended to be a wedding song, and I have had the privilege of singing it at several weddings. The lyrics talk about how when a man and woman come together in the God-sanctioned union of marriage, the two become one flesh. The covenant of marriage is meant to be taken seriously, and the bible has a lot to say about it starting in Genesis and continuing throughout.

The chorus was taken from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7; the famous listing of all the virtues of love. And my prayer at the end “And we pray dear Lord… this love will never fail” portrays the seemingly fragile nature of love and the marriage covenant in recent times.

Some of the weddings I have sung it for that I can think of are; Robert and Kim Le , Tim and Cindy Tresser , and Patti Watwood (I forget her husband’s name).  And now for the lyrics…

THIS LOVE WILL NEVER FAIL
© 1985 Words & Music by Reginald M. Michaud 

Today is the day these two will unite in the Lord
Giving themselves through love and their faith in His Word
His hand is upon their lives as they walk towards the door
Their past left behind; they’ll never be two anymore

Lord, pour out Your Spirit on man and woman today
Lord, Father in heaven we welcome Your presence
We search for Your blessing for:

            Your love is kind
            Your love is pure
            It bears all things
            And it lasts forevermore

            For love seeks to give
            And Your love endures
            And we pray dear Lord
            As you take away the veil
            This love will never fail
