How do I incorporate Christian songs into my wedding ceremony?

Christian wedding songs are very appropriate during a wedding ceremony. Christian songs are very commonplace during the unity ceremony, processional, recessional, and other activities encompassed in the wedding ceremony.

The wedding ceremony is when a couple professes their faith to one another before the Lord. Special Christian wedding songs can help signify the meaning of certain activities during a wedding ceremony in song. In addition, Christian songs can help portray the love for each other, the remembrance of a loved one, or a couple’s profession of faith.

Also popular during a wedding ceremony is to play Christian hymns. Christian hymns include Amazing Grace, All Things Bright & Beautiful, and Love Divine, All Things Excelling.

What is a Christian song?

A Christian song has lyrics that align with the central teachings of the Bible. According to the Webster Dictionary, a Christian is a person who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ. It follows that Christian music projects the teachings of Jesus Christ.

What is a good Christian song for a wedding?

A good Christian song for a wedding has lyrics that describe your love for each other and supports your Christian faith. The perfect song choice is “One + One” by  Lawson Bates featuring Olivia Collingsworth.

Is Christian music a genre?

Music is music. What makes a song Christian is the lyrics, not the style or genre of the music. Our best Christian wedding songs come from several genres including rock, jazz, and country.

Can a Christian wedding song be by a secular artist?

Songs can be considered Christian without being sung by a categorized Christian artist. For example, a country artist like Carrie Underwood can sing a song that is both country and Christian. Her song, “Jesus Take The Wheel” is a good example.

Many categorized Christian artists have been accepted in mainstream radio.

Christian songs are appropriate for all the formal dances and cake cutting. If so desired, Christian music can play during the wedding ceremony and reception. It is the bride and groom’s wedding and it is up to them as to the type of music they desire to have played at their wedding.

How is love defined in the Bible?

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. ~Scripture. 1 Corinthians 13:4–8a (ESV)
