Short answer
Christian first dance songs include "I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman, "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran (often used in Christian weddings), "Great Are You Lord" (instrumental), and "The Vow" by Rebecca St. James. Choose lyrics that reflect your faith and love.
For a Christian first dance, you might want a song that celebrates both your love for each other and your shared faith. Popular choices include "I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman, which speaks about commitment and presence. "The Vow" by Rebecca St. James is another heartfelt option. "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran is widely used in Christian weddings because its lyrics about finding your person fit well, and you can find versions with subtle faith references. "Great Are You Lord" as an instrumental version can be a beautiful, worshipful backdrop.
Other ideas include "How Deep the Father's Love for Us" (instrumental), "Cornerstone" (slow instrumental), or "Oceans" by Hillsong United, though you may want an acoustic cover for a gentler feel. "I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe is a popular choice for its emotional depth. You could also choose a hymn like "Amazing Grace" played slowly, or "Be Thou My Vision" arranged for a wedding. If you want something more contemporary, look at artists like Lauren Daigle or Chris Tomlin, whose songs often have themes of love and devotion. Always listen to the full lyrics and make sure they reflect your relationship and your faith. If you are unsure, ask your church's worship leader or a trusted friend for suggestions that fit your denomination and style.
