'til death do us part

for better or worse
in sickness and in health
'til death do us part

i vow, from now to eternity,
to look past those moments of weakness
those moments when you wear me down
when your presence seems unbearable
when i wonder why i bother to stay
when i question my sanity for believing

for better or worse,
in sickness and in health,
'til death do us part

i vow, from now to eternity,
to look at your goodness
to focus on your love
to understand your compassion
to accept the blessings you offer
to seek what you truly are

for better or worse,
in sickness and in health,
'till death do us part

you will be with me, you will fill me
without your constant companionship
i couldn't exist, i couldn't continue
without you i would be nothing
i would be a shell of what i am

i vow not to take you for granted
i vow to stop, throughout the day,
to notice you, to notice your presence,
to notice your closeness, your generosity

how you wrap me in acceptance
even when i scorn you
how you envelope me with love
even when i fail to return it
how you accept me as worthy
even when i doubt that it's true

for better or worse,
in sickness and in health,
'til death do us part.
Life,
you mean everything to me.
