D                             A 
I could never promise you on just my strength alone 
    G                                   D              A 
That all my life I'd care for you, and love you as my own 
      D                     A 
I've never known the future, I only see today 
 C                 Êm7              A                  D              G    A 
Words that last a lifetime would be more than I could say 

         D                                      A 
But the love inside my heart today(tonight) is more than mine alone 
   G                             D                  A 
It never changes, it never fails, never seeks it's own 
   D                                  A 
And by the God who gives it, and who lives in me and you 
C                  Em7                       A                 D            
I know the words I speak today(tonight) are words I'm going to do 

 

   Bm                Em             G              A 
And so I stand before you now for all to hear and see 
G                 Em              A               D 
I promise you in Jesus' name the love He's given me 
     Bm                   Em           G            A 
And through the years on earth and as eternity goes by 
     G                       Em                      A 
The life and love He's given us are never going to die 


(Interlude) 

(Chorus) 


   Bm                Em            G               A 
And so I stand before you now for all to hear and see 
G                  Em             A               D 
I promise you in Jesus' name the love He's given me 
        Bm                 Em          G            A 
And through the years on earth and as eternity goes by 
      G                      Em                     A 
The life and love He's given us are never going to die
