[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] I stand here today, no saint or perfect man Just a soul laid bare, loving you with every plan Through every fire that tried to burn us down God was carving grace into our common ground From island winds that tangled with my tide My roots now twist with yours, side by side [Verse 2] Different pages torn from distant lands Now bound as one in the palm of His hands I’ll lead with faith, not pride’s hollow crown Keep our family safe where His love holds sway Through every season yet to rise or fall Before our God — I choose you, my all [Verse 3] I stand here not flawless, not unshakably strong But anchored by a love that’s held me all along Through every doubt that clouded out the light We found our strength when God drew near that night From where I’m from, love’s a vow carved in stone Family first — the truth my bones have known [Verse 4] Two cultures weaving, hearts aligned as one A sacred vow stitched by His holy hand I’ll walk with you, not ahead, not far behind Step for step through every twist and turn of time Through stormy skies and sunlit, golden days Before our God — I choose you, always [Chorus] Before our God, before our gathered loved ones We stand as one, our hearts laid bare, undone Not perfect people, but wrapped in grace’s embrace A love no trial could ever erase Through every breath, through every passing year In joy, in trial, in hope, in fear Hand in hand, whatever may come Forever we are one [Verse 5] Mama and Daddy, I see your steady light The way you hold each other through the night When you pray, when you stand firm and true I feel safe, holding fast to you Your love is strong, your love is gentle and kind It showed me the shape that true love should find [Verse 6] And because of you, I dare to believe In promises that never fade or leave In a love that outlasts the darkest night In a bond that shines beyond the end of light [Bridge] E here tatou, ei hoê â i mua i te Atua Under Heaven, side by side With God forever as our guide Three hearts, one family One promise for eternity [Chorus] Before our God, before our watching world Our love and faith unfurled Through every flaw, through every hard-fought fight We choose each other, every single night Through every breath, through every answered prayer Through every burden we will bear Hand in hand, whatever may come Forever we are one [Outro] Hoê â tatou, i mua i te Atua Hoê â tatou, i raro i te here
