Faith Hope and Love

Their heart's were filled with happiness
So awesome and overflowing
They could not believe it 
For it was far beyond all knowing

How two people could care so much
Or feel the fullness of
A woman's heart with a man's heart
And the ecstasy of love

They wished that they could capture it
And never let it go
So they could walk forever 
In its sensual and magical flow

But love that lasts forever
Must be made from something strong
The kind of strength that is gathered
When their hearts can hear their song

For when the sunshine on their brightest day
Runs into stormy weather
They must rely on each other's hearts
To keep them close together

And holding one another
While the thunder booms above
They must find divine protection
In Faith and in Hope and in Love

For thoughts of ecstasy and sunsets
Never make loves dreams come true
It takes sacrifice and teardrops
Problems shared by two

To give true love its beauty
Through the good times and the bad
And to prove that when they are happy
It is because they made it when they were sad
