when I stand with you before the altar – v2

I breathe aloud this prayer over us, for you,
my love, my life, my world, my breath,
I call upon God to witness, to hear,
all that I speak into the universe…
 
when I stand with you before the altar
when I profess my love before God
I will sing your name to the heavens
I will offer myself to you always…
 
I will speak my truth to you, darling,
I will hold nothing of me back
all I am is yours, sweetheart
you hold my soul, my heart…
 
all I have ever wanted truly
is a life with one so dear
all I am is in this promise
your hand is my reward…
