As I see you stand together now, l know where you began -
And how the world we live in has transformed itself since then
     With TV sets and Cold War threats
     Computer games and internets
You have weathered all the changes with elan
By adhering to a simple, timeless plan

You let your words of love be spoken
And exchanged the marriage token
     And it seems that now
     That holy vow
Has yet remained unbroken
For the love of God has never failed as you lived from day to day
And as you're standing here together now I'd say
That your loving for each other has been that way

I believe that through the ages past the race of man has grown
More than any of its elder fathers might have guessed or known
     But through endless schemes and human dreams
     And flying to the moon machines
The experience of man has always shown
That he was never meant to live his life alone

So in the way of countless others
You have called each other lovers
     To share the love
     And the duties of
A father and a mother
And as we come together now to celebrate this day
Your children want to take this chance to say
That your loving for your family was that way

And in the years still left before you,
You just let your love restore you
     Though the traps and snares
     Of earthly cares
May beckon and implore you
For the love of God will never fail as you live from day to day
And as you are standing here together now I pray
That your loving for each other will be that way
