For You

For you I would walk a million miles travel to the ends of this earth
I would proudly stand by you for better or worse

I would trade a thousand day just to spend one night in your presence
If I could look into your eyes, inhaling your beautiful essence

I would submit to you, offer my sweet surrender
Fill your life with joy, and endless splendor

I will happily give you my trust and all that it holds
Knit my spirit with yours, until our two becomes one soul

I would get lost in your thoughts and live within your dreams
Give you my love everlasting; eternally

I would give myself to you and you alone
Find rest within your compassion, call your heart my home

I just want to reverence  you, worship you as my King
Honor you with admiration and sincerity

I just want to love you, with a love that’s honest and true
I would give all that I own to spend this lifetime with you

I would erase all of your pain, all of the hurt you have ever felt
I would bear your burdens and take them all upon my self

For you I will endure, I will sacrifice
For the privilege and the honor of being your wife

I guess this is what surrendering oneself to someone really means.
