The Way that He Loves

I was asked to play at a wedding, "Blessed Assurance" and "What a Friend We Have in Jesus". No problem, basically major chords. Then at the last minute she asks me to play a song I've never played before, written in F. I hate to play in F. Transposing it to D right now. Pray for me.  The wedding is Saturday. :blink:

Haha, toss a capo on the 3rd fret and play in D form. I know, easy way out.

I haven't heard that song since about 1979 (too drippy and sappy for me even back then). Do you run something like that in standard D or a drop D?

"drippy and sappy" haha

When playing in D, I prefer altering the bass fingering on some of the chords a wee bit and playing in drop D. I mute the low E string on some chords like G's and change it altogether on Em.  It's just an instrumental, so I shouldn't need to capo to suit any singers. But If they change their mind that won't be a problem.

Sadly, the time has passed and the Webb Family is no longer a band, but it was fun while it lasted.

I have performed other "secular" love songs at weddings before and although I didn't listen to all of it, this one seems to be good..

. IMO, wedding vows should include such things found in Malachi 2:16, Ephesians 5:21-33, 1 Corinthians 7:2-5, and 1 Peter Chapter 3.

Those things would keep a lot more homes together and happy.

Here are the lyrics to the song,...

 

I will pledge my heart
To the love we share
Through the good and the bad times too
I'll forsake my rest
For your happiness
'Til my death I will stand by you
 

With God as my witness
This vow I will make
To have and to hold you
No other to take
For rich or for poor
Under skies grey or blue
'Til my death I will stand by you
 

There are wars and there are rumors
Of wars yet to come
Temptations we'll have to walk through
Though others may tremble
I will not run
'Til my death I will stand by you
 

I will put on the armor of faithfulness
To fight for a heart that is true
'Til the battle is won, I will not rest
'Til my death I will stand by you
 

With God as my witness
This vow I will make
To have and to hold you
No other to take
For rich or for poor
Under skies grey or blue
'Til my death I will stand by you


'Til the battle is won
I will not run
'Til my death I will stand by you
