The Commitment Waltz

Track #6 of With These Songs We Wed

This song is unique on this album, in that it conveys the idea of joining lives together without using the words wedding, marriage, or matrimony. Instead, it focuses on the commitment aspect. Marriage is intended to last a lifetime. The song has a down-home, folk country feel.

Today to each other we promise to love,
to honor and cherish, before God above;
With guests as our witness, these vows that we take
will bind us together as this new life we make.

Pledging our vows, we two join as one.
From this day forward, it’s a new life begun;
I am committing to you all my heart
Now and forever, ’til death do us part.

If life is a song, let us sing the next verse,
For richer for poorer, and for better for worse,
In health or in sickness, we will stay side by side
As we travel together with the Lord as our guide.

Pledging our vows, we two join as one.
From this day forward, it’s a new life begun;
I am committing to you all my heart
Now and forever, ’til death do us part.
I am committing to you all my heart
Now and forever, ’til death do us part.
