On Loves Fair Shore

On bent knee we did first agree 
To pursue loves true course 
From my trembling lips the question asked 
My eager ears for your words to leave 
From precious vessel and heart receive 
To begin lives journey with friend in hand 
And to ask Gods’ blessings on our plans 
For over treacherous or calm blue seas 
Our two hearts agree to sail with thee 
As our vows tie us two in masters sailors knot 
Tied by you 
We cast off with love full force on our sails 
Sweet serenity upon our face 
Until at last gale force winds appear 
The vessel runs off course 
And two hearts struggle with the winds full force 
Until at last through gale force winds are heard 
The captains shouts as whispers on the wind 
Is your faith shaken by the raging storm 
But I have heard your pleas many times before 
A sailor's true test is in the storm 
Where sailors are made and captains are born 
I have sailed this course many times before 
And you will land once again 
On loves fair shores
