YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY

In the Sacrament of Marriage
we exchange a solemn vow,
to be faithful ever loyal
to our chosen wedded spouse.

It’s a vow that must be taken
in the utmost seriousness,
the two being a true image
of God’s power and tenderness.

To respect each other always
each having equal dignity,
to be open to God’s gift of life
accept what comes to be.

In time when maybe life’s routines
become mundane, the spark does cool,
you’ll maybe think that love is dying
but it’s not normally the rule.

Love goes through different stages
as the years of living bring about,
a deeper, ever growing love
when we pray and work it out.

If your eye begins to wander
beware, it’s Satan’s snare,
he makes you think it’s over
of his evil lies beware.

He’ll try his best to get you
to break your Sacred Vow,
before he gets a foothold
let Jesus show you how.

In our union we are not alone
when we married He was there,
He will help us heal as trouble comes
His wisdom with us share.

So just because things seem to change
don’t worry, it’s the way that it should be,
with His love sealed deep within us
we’ll be one eternally.
