On a ship that had no charted course
With no pattern for our sail
We set out in love’s gentle boat
In culture’s stormy gale
I just loved you when I met you
It was simple, right and true
So, with no power vested from the state
I simply pledge the sacred, holy weight
…….of my honor.
On my honor, I will love you
I will keep the dinner on for you
Together we’ll grow old
We’ll turn the album pages
And a history will unfold
And all the states
And all the powers
That fashion, shape and name
Will pale and seem so powerless
When I today bring nothing less
…….than my honor.
On my honor, I will love you
I will celebrate your victories
On Sunday find our pew
We’ll gather friends at table
And discover something new
And all the states
And all the powers
That fashion, shape and blame
Must be silent and so powerless
When I today bring nothing less
…..than my honor.
In the novel of our journey
In the story of our days
Things will change most certainly
And grace will find a way
But today, we bring this Family
To this feast of kindred hearts
With celebration’s bounty on our plate
We taste the precious, sacred, holy weight
……of love’s honor.

On My Honor
