This song is the epitome of the saying “everything happens for a reason.” When you think God isn’t listening to your prayers about something you really want, it’s probably because he is giving you something better. In this song, the unanswered prayer is the man’s wife. He never thought he would be with anyone but his highschool lover, but it turns out that wasn’t who he needed or wanted.
Favorite Lyrics: Some of God’s greatest gifts are all too often unanswered… Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
3) ‘I Don’t Dance’ by Lee Brice
Another one of the most popularly played wedding songs, Lee Brice is another artist who has a way with sweet words. Sometimes a man can never imagine settling down. But when he comes across a woman who can have him in the palm of her hand, then he’s all for it. This song is about all the things you’d never imagine doing until you meet the one for you. A great song to dance around to in the kitchen in your pj’s after the Valentine’s Day festivities have ended.

It tells the ever so familiar love story, but with every step the couple takes together in their lives, he loves her more and more. He thought he loved her when they first met, but when he asked her to marry him, he loved her more, and so on. Valentine’s Day would not be complete without a little serenading with this song.
