Analysis of Commitment
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Your lips are sweeter than honey my love.
They must have come down from heaven above.
When you kissed me, I could feel your passion.
And though this might sound a bit old fashion,
They made me long to marry you,
And walk with God as He carries you.
How can I live alone anymore?
When I know what the Lord has for us in store.
A blessed union that honors and glorifies Him!
With our love and devotion as our life we begin.
And then we can continue in prayer and in praise.
To glorify Jesus Christ all the rest of our days!
