Andrew Peterson - Dancing in the Minefields

Lyrics:

Well I was 19 you were 21
The year we got engaged
Everyone said we were much to young
But we did it anyway
We got the rings for 40 each from a pawn shop down the road
We said our vows and took the leap now 15 years ago

Chorus:
We went dancing in the minefields
We went sailing in the storm
And it was harder than we dreamed
But I believe that's what the promise is for

Well 'I do' are the two most famous last words
The beginning of the end
But to lose your life for another I've heard is a good place to begin
Cause the only way to find your life is to lay your own life down
And I believe it's an easy price for the life that we have found

Chorus:
And we're dancing in the minefields
We're went sailing in the storm
And it was harder than we dreamed
But I believe that's what the promise was for
That's what the promise is for

Bridge:
So when I lose my way, find me
When I lose loves chains, bind me
At the end of all my faith
to the end of all my days
when I forget my name, remind me

Cause we bear the light of the son of man
So there's nothing left to fear
So I'll walk with you in the shadow lands
Till the shadows disappear
Cause he promised not to leave us
And his promises are true
So in the face of this chaos baby
I can dance with you

Chorus:
So lets go dancing in the minefields
Lets go sailing in the storms
Oh lets go dancing in the minefields
And kicking down the doors
Oh lets go dancing in the minefields
And sailing in the storms
Oh this is harder than we dreamed
But I believe that's what the promise if for
That's what the promise is for

This is a truly beautiful song. It kinda gives me hope that God will lead me to my special someone...And no matter what, we'll endure together...It's just a nice thought...

Such a beautiful song... last night I got engaged to my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years... he's 21, and Im 18. I can't wait to go dancing through the minefields :)

Thank you for writing something that couples need to hear! We were married at 21 and 22 and tested at 48 and 49. The promise is what kept our family together. God be praised and God bless you!

Fave song! ^^

I was 18 he was 21 and we have loved each other relentlessly for 8 years. Thank God.

I have been dating my girlfriend for a year and four months. I recently bought her a ring to say 'I can't marry you now, but you better be sure I will.' We've been through the ringer. Mostly me being a fool and struggling with dishonesty and fruitless lust. I have been struggling and wondering if love can be perfect.. If human love can be like Godly love. And today I realized that no it certainly cannot. But what is my love without God? Nothing. So I give my relationship to him.
