This song is adapted from an upcoming collaborative project, and also commemorated my 21st wedding anniversary last week.
Marriage Vow
When two souls are joined as one,
The wise are moved to tears,
For they foresee the blessings
That will flow down through the years.
The bonds of love we treasure
And honour all our lives
Repay us without measure;
Through love our souls revive.
This is my marriage vow
That I’m declaring now,
Before the people here,
As they applaud and cheer:
I promise faithfulness,
And utter openness,
To heal our brokenness
With playful tenderness;
I’ll always stay with you,
Faithfully pray with you,
Whatever trials may come,
We’ll work to overcome.
You are my joy,
You are my peace,
In the shelter of your heart I find release.
We’ll raise our children
To love the Lord,
To know His Word and stand up to the world.
When we get tired
As we grow old,
Your love will still mean more to me than gold.
When two souls are joined as one,
The wise are moved to tears,
For they foresee the blessings
That will flow down through the years.
