Twenty Eight Years Ago

Two became one and the journey of a lifetime began

Battle Hymn of Love

I will pledge my heart to the love we share
Through the good and the bad times too
I'll forsake my rest for your happiness
'Til my death I will stand by you

With God as my witness this vow I will make
To have and to hold you no other to take
For richer, for poorer, under skies gray or blue
'Til my death I will stand by you

There are wars and there are rumors of wars yet to come
Temptations we'll have to walk through
Though others may tremble, I will not run
'Til my death I will stand by you

I will put on the armor of faithfulness
And fight for a heart that is true
'Til the battle is won, I will not rest
'Til my death I will stand by you

With God as my witness this vow I will make
To have and to hold you, no other to take
For richer for poorer, under skies gray or blue
'Til my death I will stand by you

'Til the battle is won, I will not run
'Til my death I will stand by you
