Prayer of a Bride To Be

Dear Father who art in Heaven if it be thy will, 
On my blessed wedding day bid me to fulfill, 
Each vow I take with humble heart and grant me to intrust,
This man I choose forever more until the earths in crust.

Please give me understanding and the power to forgive, 
And add consideration to this new life I must live.
Help me O'er the rough roads for rough roads there shall be, 
Making the joy of happiness live 'til eternity.

If I try and try I will, dear Lord I shan't forget,
Your helping hand has guided me past the word regret.
So once again, I beg dear Lord, Please linger by my side,
The day I change from a silly girl, to a woman and a Bride!
