Story behind the song
Yes, it was raining on our wedding day. And, yes, I couldn't quit grinning.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
It wasn't Christmas
Not my Birthday
But you gave to me a ring
And gave yourself away
You made a promise
Became my wife
To show the greatness of
Your love for me
You gave to me
Your Life.
Been many Years
Since that fine day
Though it was raining on the outside
It was a glorious day
I disappeared
Without a trace
Like the Cheshire cat, all that
Was left was the grin on my face!
Chorus:
No longer I! No longer me!
Together you and I have found
That we are more than enough
To face this world
Full of strife
As long as breath is in me
I will be here
Giving you back
My life!
Verse 2:
He set His crown aside
Got off His throne
And set His robe aside
And bled and died
Rejected, alone.
But it's not over now.
It didn't end.
The stone was rolled away
On that third day
And He rose again!
So many years ago,
Like yesterday,
The light He brought into
This world broke through
The darkness in me!
I disappeared
Without a clue
The only thing I understood
Was He was leading
Me too.
Chorus:
No longer I! No longer me!
Together He and I have found
That We are more than enough
To face this world
Full of strife!
As long as breath is in me,
I will be here
Giving Him back
My life!
Verse 3:
A threefold cord are we
The ties that bind,
Our lives and dreams are wrapped together,
Hopelessly intertwined.
For we are joined with Him
Through Storm and Strife
Who showed the greatness of
His love for us
By giving us
His life!
Chorus:
No longer I! No longer me!
Together you and I have found
That we are more than enough
To face this world
Full of strife
As long as breath is in me
I will be here
Giving you back
My life!
