Take me, please Stephanie,
Take me, in matrimony – take me.

Take me, into your heart,
Take me, into your loving arms – take me.
Let the bells ring out of
A higher union of love.
Let trust and respect sing and shout,
Drive out the doubt,
And the rest will work out.

Take me, let us begin,
Take me, down to the end – take me.
Let out bridge build to be
Our new family.
Let the walls in between and around,
Come tumbling down;
Let our unity abound.

Take me, into your soul,
Take me, while we’re growing old –
Take me, come on and take,
‘Cause I’m taking you.
