A Love as True

From the mountain

To the valley,

From the highway

To the alley,

Traveling by

Car, foot, or train,

You are the one

That keeps me sane.

You hold my hand.

I lift your chin.

I've got your back

Through thick and thin.

Don't be afraid

Of what's ahead.

I'll fight the fears

Beneath your bed.

And when through the

Valley of the

Shadow of Death

You walk with me,

We both can trust

We're not alone.

In time the dark

Will all be gone,

And together,

Here we will be,

Both standing up

Triumphantly.

Do not give up

And don't despair.

There is still hope

While we're a pair.

When you and I

Are together,

Trials become

An adventure.

You're my best friend,

My shining knight.

Your princess can

Put up a fight.

So look ahead,

I've got your six.

The future looks

Like pick-up-sticks.

With one wrong move

It all can change,

But baby, we

Can rearrange.

We're flexible

But solid, still.

Let the devil

Just try to kill

What the Lord has

Brought together.

We'll be laughing

Through the heather.

Babe, you fill me

With endless joy.

I'm glad you're mine,

My Johnny Boy.

Life is spinning

Away real fast,

But Love's our ship

And Faith's our mast.

We fill the sails

With praise to God

And travel to

Where angel's trod.

But til our time

Arrives for each,

I hope our lives

Are 'nough to teach

Our children to

Live lives that please

Our God, than seek

A life of ease.

And may they find

A love as true

As the true love

I share with you.

I'd rather spend

Life upside down

Than without you

In perfect town.

For every Ad-

-venture in store,

You're everything

I want and more.
