We'll be standing face to face, everybody in the place
says "i know they'll be happy"
and as we walk back up the aisle i will turn to you and smile
cause i know we'll be happy
and i will look to you and you will look to me
a million thoughts race through my head
but my smile is all you see
and i will stand beside you, i'll hold your hand and say
"you were worth the wait"
though i often stopped to ask god why
i always knew that he was right
when he told me to wait for you
when i was weak and couldn't see the way
i'd look ahead and see your face
and god would always bring me through
i had so many chances to throw it all away
but i knew if i stayed strong i'd meet you someday
i'd kneel and pray and i'd ask god to keep you safe
because i knew you were worth the wait
it seemed so very hard sometimes, but you were always on my mind
i couldn't bear to hurt you
so grab my hand and hold on tight, we'll run together through the night
just you and i
we'll be walking side by side, i'll be yours and you'll be mine
and i know we'll be happy
i made the choice to wait for you, you made the same decision too
and i know we'll be happy
we had so many chances to throw it all away
but we both stayed strong and god brought our lives together that one day
now i kneel and pray and i thank god that you are safe
you were worth the wait
