I could never promise you on just my strength alone
That all my life I'd care for you and love you as my own.
I've never know the future -- I only see today
Words that last a life time would be more than I could say.

But the love inside my heart today is more than mine alone;
It never changes, never fails, it never seeks its own.
And by the God who gives it and who lives in me and you,
I know the words I speak today are words I'm going to do.

So I stand before you now for all to hear and see
And promise you in Jesus' name -- the love He's given me;
And through the years on earth as eternity goes by,
The life and love He's given us -- are never going to die
