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
That all my life I'd care for you and love you as my own.

It never changes, never fails, it never seeks its own.
And by the God who gives it and who lives in me and you,
