I Stand Before You
Renounce me not...
denounce me...only with
mine own will...
I stand before you...
therefore I am
for all in sundry
I shrill...
I come with everything
I own...
everything that is truly
mine...
my courage
my wisdom
my spirit
my soul
my everlasting love
for one woman I betroth
my belief is strong...
you may find shelter
in my words...
fear me not...
for I will be heard...
prepare thyself
for I lay down my claim...
you will step aside
you will allow me safe passage
for my heart will challenge thee
for my word you can rely...
for I will reach my love
My faith rides with me
this very day
my faith I will not deny...
