Holy Matrimony

It wasn’t easy to reach this moment To establish a journey with you and me on it But as I stand here by your side I wouldn’t trade anything to take this ride We have seen it all and have struggled a bit We even came to times where we wanted none of it But we persevered and we stuck it through And now on this alter before all of you I proclaim my love to my precious dear Whom I shall cherish year after year When hair turns grey like the cloudy skies And turmoil builds because of the lies I will stand tall and place my queen on her throne I will not leave, never to be left alone The king is present and his present to you Is undying commitment for him to stay true Rain showers come as I see you march down Never a happier moment when I put on your crown And say that you are the queen of all queens The love of my life, I, the king of all kings Behind every man there is a woman But my lady is beside me and she keeps me going She provides counsel in times of confusion We worship and praise, the blessings of God no losing No line has been uttered to display my true feelings Before you and God my love I am kneeling Claiming to be forever your servant Your protector, your lover, your husband un-swerving My title has been given and my duties are clear When you speak to me your words I will hear And remember those words and bring to the light All of the darkness that may cause you fright I know the tears in your eyes are that of joy And I kiss each one with my own pride and joy To have met and wed the one God placed for me Place your hands in mine and let us walk gracefully For we have proven good still abounds In a land of evil running rampant through towns I ask you to love me as I will love you This holy matrimony between me and you
