Lyrics Wedding Feast - Solveig Leithaug

Wedding Feast
Lyrics: Solveig Leithaug Henderson, 1992
This song was written for my dear friends Stephan and Anne Christiansen's wedding, December 20, 1992

Getting ready for the wedding feast
She is all adorned in white
Her wedding gown of linen, clean and pure
The Groom has paid for with His life
She doesn't know exactly when He'll come
Only that He's worth waiting for
She's kept herself from any other one
He's got the key to her hearts door

Getting ready for the wedding feast
The invitation is for all
Some people have important things to do
And others just ignore the call
Some say that there will never be a feast
But some give all they have to come
They come from streets and places no one thought
The Father could know anyone

She's getting ready, getting ready
Getting rid of every wrinkle and spot
Holding on to the promise she's got
Ready. Getting ready
She is waiting for her Groom.
He said: "Be ready, cause I'm coming soon!"

Getting ready for the wedding feast
She is all adorned in white
Her wedding gown of linen, clean and pure
The Groom has paid for with His life
The Father's longing for the wedding day
He wants to fill up every room
They come from every nation, tongue and tribe
To celebrate the Bride and Groom
