Love Is Worth Fighting For.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about weddings these days, for various reasons. This afternoon, a friend played this song for me and I immediately knew that someday someone will sing this at my wedding. There are so many generic love songs on the radio these days, and most of them are either about how being in love is so perfect (which is a lie ... it's hard work) or they're about heartbreak and devastation. This song focuses on commitment, even when things are rough. Definitely some of the most beautiful lyrics I have ever heard ...

Love is not a place to come and go as we please

It's a house we enter in and then commit to never leave.

So lock the door behind you

Throw away the key

We'll work out together

Let it bring us to our knees.

Love is a shelter in a raging storm

Love is peace in the middle of a war

And if we try to leave ... may God send angels to guard the door

No love is not a fight, but it's something worth fighting for.

To some, love is a word that they can fall into

But when they're falling out ... keeping that word is hard to do.

Love is a shelter in a raging storm

Love is peace in the middle of a war

And if we try to leave ... may God send angels to guard the door

No love is not a fight, but it's something worth fighting for.
