'I DO'

I stand beneath the bow above, placed there by My Father
     To love, to cherish and to honor
          From this day forward without end
               These things I do so promise

My Love for her is deep and rich
     There is no greater Love to give
          My cherished Bride, 
               For her, I’d die that she might live

At this altar
     I lay down 
          A vow of love and sacrifice

My Love shall embrace, comfort and protect
     As wings surround the eagle’s young
          That in peace she may lie down and sleep
               Knowing well it is her I will forever keep

When it’s time for her to fly
     My Love will fill her wings
          To let her soar and not grow weary
               To taste and see what freedom brings

My precious Love, My Beauty, My Prize, 
     At the altar I wait for you
          If you will have Me
               With unbroken vow 
                    I proclaim for all to hear
                         Forevermore, ‘I Do’
