When She Gave Birth

Lyrics

[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS] When she gave birth to sin and shame Two serpents crawled upon the earth They asked "what is our father's name?" She wept and claimed a virgin birth [TOBEY, spoken] Come in the lake with me [DAWN, spoken] The lake? What? [TOBEY, spoken] I know it sounds so crazy but let's baptize each other now so we can wash all of this sin and confusion away now! [DAWN, spoken] Tobey- [TOBEY, spoken] I'm scared, Dawn! I've never been more terrified in my life! I never fully atoned for what I did with Denise and I think that's why I messеd up with you and why I'll keep messing up unless I deal with this now! Plеase. PLEASE [DAWN, spoken] Okay. Okay, yes. I'm with you. I love you. Let's do it [PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS] When she gave birth to sin and shame Two serpents crawled upon the earth [TOBEY, spoken] Let's hold up our hands. In the Old Testament we learn that original sin was born from Mother Eve when she allowed herself to be beguiled by the serpent [DAWN, spoken] I hold up my hands, God, I hold up my hands [TOBEY, spoken] And tempted Adam, the first man with fruit from the tree of Knowledge - the very tree the Lord God had commanded them not to eat [DAWN, spoken] I hold up my hands, God, I hold up my hands [TOBEY, spoken] And for their disobedience, sin entered the world and they were turned out of paradise Forever [DAWN, spoken] But the New Testament tells us that we must be born again. Of water and of the spirit [TOBEY, spoken] So I, Tobey Zacharias Akin do solemnly vow to go forward and sin no more [DAWN, spoken] And I, Dawn Elizabeth O'Keefe do solemnly swear to go forward and sin no more. With This water, we do now purify. On the count of three. 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... [PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS] When she gave birth to sin and shame Two serpents crawled upon the earth They asked "what is our father's name?" She wept and claimed a virgin birth [DAWN, spoken] Wow [TOBEY, spoken] I feel so clean [DAWN, spoken] Jesus is so precious! [TOBEY, spoken] Do you see what I mean now? [DAWN, spoken] Yes. This was such a good idea [TOBEY, spoken] I don't want to lose this, Dawn [DAWN, spoken] Me neither [TOBEY, spoken] So marry me [DAWN, spoken] Marry you? [TOBEY, spoken] Yes. Become my wife, my helpmeet, my partner for life [DAWN, spoken] You're serious [TOBEY, spoken] I am. Tomorrow when we go to Pastor, we can tell him and NTV that we've been born again together forever [DAWN, spoken] But we're still in school! And what will your parents say? And Tobey ... I don't know what kind of wife I could be to you because ... I have so much shame in my body. So much shame— [TOBEY, spoken] Dawn, you don't think I have shame in my body too? But the shame is kind of a blessing. I think Father God puts shame in us to protect us until we find our helpmeets who help us become who we're meant to be [DAWN, spoken] You really think so? [TOBEY, spoken] I know so. But there can't be any daylight between us on this, Dawn, or it won't work. I care about you. I love you, I want you. Please marry me [DAWN, spoken] Yes [TOBEY, spoken] Yes! My wife! My wife! [DAWN, spoken] Your wife! Your wife! [TOBEY, spoken] Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Husband. Wife [DAWN, spoken] Husband. Wife [TOBEY, spoken] Take off your promise ring [DAWN, spoken] Now? [TOBEY, spoken] One flesh, Dawn. But only if you- [DAWN, spoken] No, I do. I do [TOBEY spoken] Hearing you say I do is like music to my ears. So let's sing [DAWN, spoken] It's cold all of a sudden. Are you cold? [TOBEY, spoken] No [DAWN, spoken] Something's poking me in the back [TOBEY, spoken] Shhh [DAWN, spoken] Sorry [TOBEY, spoken] I'm removing the barriers between us now, okay? [DAWN, spoken] Now I'm really cold [TOBEY, spoken] "Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church." That's all I want to do, wife [DAWN, spoken] That's all I want too, but - [TOBEY, spoken] Listen to the wind rustling through the trees. Look at the stars. Feel the warmth between Us [DAWN, spoken] Hey Tobey, maybe we could— [TOBEY, spoken] Father God is smiling down us [DAWN, spoken] What if we just— [TOBEY, spoken] The way he smiled on Solomon and his beloved [DAWN, spoken] Um, where did you put my— [TOBEY, spoken] What a blessing you are to me! What a precious gift! [DAWN, spoken] Precious gift, precious gift, precious gift, precious gift [TOBEY, spoken] Breathe into me, wife. Breathe into me. Breathe into me — Yes — [DAWN, spoken] Tobey, I have a cramp [TOBEY, spoken] Feel me, Dawn. Merge with me and let my love envelop and edify you and—sweet Father Godddd— [DAWN, spoken] I can't feel my legs [TOBEY, spoken] And it came to pass that Tobey saw there a daughter of Eden whose name was Dawn ... [DAWN, spoken] I feel like I'm gonna pass out [TOBEY, spoken] Whose purity was unmatched and whose hair was the glory of all of Corinthians ... [DAWN, spoken] Why can't I feel my legs? [TOBEY, spoken] And she gazed upon her betrothed with a desire consecrated by Father God ... [DAWN, spoken] Tobey please, please [TOBEY, spoken] He took her and went in unto her and he took her and [DAWN, spoken] Tobey, stop- [TOBEY, spoken] He went in unto her and he took her and went in unto her and [DAWN, spoken] Tobey you're hurting- [TOBEY] Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
