Your wedding day is more than a celebration—it's a sacred moment where you step into the covenant of marriage before God, your family, and your closest friends. One powerful way to reflect your faith on your wedding day is by incorporating worship music into your ceremony and reception. It could be the the song you walk down the aisle to, a moment of worship during the ceremony, or the first dance as husband and wife—whatever you choose, worship music can help turn beautiful moments into holy ones. Whether you want a song that declares God's faithfulness, reflects your love story through the lens of faith, or sets the tone for your marriage, this list of worship-inspired first dance songs is for you!
Christian Wedding Songs
1. Dancing by Elevation Worship
The first time I heard “Dancing” by Elevation Worship, I honestly thought it was just a beautiful love song between two people. Then I realized it was from a worship album—and everything shifted. The beauty of this song lies in its layers: it reads like a couple's tender promise to walk through life hand in hand, but it also holds a deeper meaning—a heartfelt expression of intimacy with God. Whether you interpret it as a vow to your spouse or a reflection of your journey with the Lord, it's the kind of song that captures both heaven and earth in one melody.
2. For the One by Bethel
“For the One” by Bethel is a tender, powerful reminder of what it means to love like Jesus. Choosing this song for your wedding is more than a musical moment—it’s a declaration that your marriage will reflect His heart, serve others, and live fully for the One who brought you together.
3. First Love by Kari Jobe
I was drawn to “First Love” by Kari Jobe for my own wedding because I married my high school sweetheart—my literal first love. The lyrics felt like a subtle, sweet nod to our story. But what made it even more meaningful was the deeper truth woven throughout the song: that no matter how deep our love runs here on earth, God is and always will be our true first love. It’s a beautiful reminder to keep Him at the center of your relationship, not just on your wedding day, but for a lifetime.
4. Awestruck by VOUS Worship
“Awestruck” by VOUS Worship is a stunning declaration of wonder at how intimately God knows and loves us—down to the very way He formed us. The lyrics capture that overwhelming feeling of being fully seen and still fully loved. When the bridge says, “It’s always been You,” it speaks powerfully to both a couple’s love story and their relationship with God.

Incorporating Christian songs is a beautiful way to root that moment in something eternal, and it becomes a chance to glorify God publicly. And best of all—you’ll be instantly brought back to your wedding day every time you hear that song in the years to come.
