So many things I could promise.
That can bring you solace.
For past transgressions.
Of false love’s bad intentions.
How we tend to love with a worldly eye.
Eventually just to say goodbye.

You carry so much pain and disappointment.
For which there is no ointment.
You were taken for a ride.
Endured remarks so snide.
Even dragged through the mud.
Barely surviving the flood.

So what is it that I could do?
To show my love for you.
How will I get you to trust?
That this is love and not lust.
How will I get you to break down the wall?
That you have built so tall.

Words just will not do.
For someone as special as you.
It is going to take much more than that.
To show you that you are not a doormat.
Yes, the years have gone by.
And many tears you did cry.

There is much I can try.
That could or would ratify.
The sincerity of my heart.
And its promise of comfort.
A safe haven.
To protect you from the Raven.

The only promise I will give.
My life, pure I will live.
So that on judgement day.
To our Father I can say:
Lord please may I speak?
For it`s Your mercy I seek.

However not for mine own.
But for this flower to me You did loan.
To be my bride.
Out of mine own side.
To share my life.
As my wife.

She has loved me true.
This union`s glue.
She is my best friend.
To this day the end.
Our family she did tend.
Even from foe and friend, we all she did defend.



Father I bow before Thee.
I offer my humble plea.
Grant that I bear her transgressions.
Yes, hear her confessions.
But let me offer up my soul.
To render her`s pure and whole.

Just as You gave Your Son to save us.
I beg my plea, do not dismiss.
For it was You that thought us compassion.
And avoid faction.
Father I humbly bow before Your throne.
Lay her blame on my shoulders, let me atone.
