Notes About The Poem

Revised from "Lord I Kneel Before You", for the beginning of married life; not the end of life.

Lord I Kneel In Marriage

Lord I Kneel in Marriage
(A prayer by the husband after the ceremony)

Lord I kneel before you
Knowing you have blessed my life
You have brought my soul mate to me
Now she has become my wife

You brought our lives together
It was you I must confess
I heard your voice within me
“If you marry, God will bless”

With all your love and wisdom
You provided ties that bind
Gave us love in life we needed
Thank you God, you were so kind

We will share each other every day
On the straight roads and the bends
Live life by the Golden Rule 
Seldom have to make amends

When those rare times happen
You will always guide us through
Help us choose our actions wisely
In advance I'm thanking you

 Lord watch over both of us
Guide us on to make you proud
I know we will have no regrets
For those promises we vowed.

Thank you God
Amen
