A Sacred Vow

Marriage is a sacred vow

When two people tie the knot

Man and woman become one

Singleness it is now done

Two in one unite in love

Work together, be complete

Others’ needs to think about

Not intended to compete

Love each other day by day

Help each other to perfect

How to treat the other one

Now with honor and respect

Learn each other’s little quirks

Learn to bend where it makes sense

Go the distance to show love

And not lies do you invent

Truthful in all that we say

Honest in all that we do

Faithful always to our vows

Which in action we renew

Perfect we’ll not surely be

For our bodies still are flesh

But with God we can be pure

Walking in His righteousness

We submit to God each day

Walk in fellowship with Him

Be obedient to His rules

By His grace not yield to sin

Help each other walk by faith

Sinful lusts to not desire

Live for God as those who’re His

Doing what our Lord requires
