Bride going w/ a gospel theme. Processional: amazing grace.
Recessional : o Haaaaapppy Day
Any suggestions for 2 other songs? One for unity candle. Know of any gospel song called Freedom? Thanks for any help!
Hi Nancy. We are currently working on a list of Gospel songs and will be released in September. You have 2 amazing songs for weddings listed. I am not sure which Freedom song you are speaking of but I know this Christian song is very popular – “Freedom” by Jesus Culture.
You forgot “The Marriage Prayer” by John Waller from the album As For Me and My House.
Thank you SO much Drew for the suggestion. It has been added to our list!
I am looking for a perfect song after receiving the blessing on our marriage from the pastor. Any suggestions?
Hi Miranda. The song you are requesting is such a personal and spiritual moment. However, Lauren Daigle’s You Say may fit the moment.
I have 2 sons getting married this summer and I’m looking for mother son Christian songs ? Any suggestions?
Hi Peggy. Thanks for your question. First, I would have you check out our list of Mother-Son songs here: https://www.myweddingsongs.com/wedding-song-lists/mother-son-songs/. Second, try not to confine yourself to “Christian” only artists. Just because a song is performed by a non-classified Christian artist, doesn’t mean the song is not a Christian song. “I Melt” by Rascal Flatts has been one of the most popular Mother-Son songs the past decade.
Here is some R&B, Soul, rap Christian love songs that can be played at weddings: Put it on Paper by AL Green, I Love my wife by Rufus Troutman, Virtuous women by Canton Jones, I Found Love by MR. Del, We Cant Lose by LP, Baby Girl, By Thi’sl
Thank you Henry for the list of songs. We will add them to the list!
Aren’t there any Christian love songs from more recent years? And some of these songs deal more with showing God’s love to the world rather than the love between husband and wife…
Hi Abbie. Thank you for your feedback. Yes, we need to add more current Christian songs and will be doing so in the coming weeks. You can also consider other genres. Just because a song is a Country or Rock song does not mean it cannot be a “Christian Song”.
Check out Dave Pettigrew’s Love is here. I think it is a perfect love song.
Thank you Suzanne for the suggestion! We love the song and will add it to the list.
I enjoy this list, but I have to say leaving off the original “God Gave Me You” by David Barnes and “Give me a Lifetime” by Anthem Lights is a bit of an oversight.
Thank you Blaze. We will add them to our list! Have a blessed day.
I love How beautiful by Twila Paris and Be my guide by Brian Thiessen. They perfect songs for a wedding march into the church for the bride and groom respectively.
Thanks for sharing Edward. We love the songs as well. Check back soon as we will be updating this list in the coming weeks.

Hi Virginia. That is only the first song. Please see the rest of the list of songs on the page by The Stanley Brothers, Augie Meyers and Hoskins Family.
My husband and I sang ” God Gave you to me” at our wedding 50 years ago. We would now like to sing it at our 50th anniversary party and are trying to find the song and music. HELP!
Hi Virginia, I would recommend this link to the God Gave You To Me songs on Amazon.
