Lyrics
Verse 1
We stood there small beneath heaven’s sound,
Two trembling hearts on holy ground,
I said your name, I meant the cost,
Not counting gain, not fearing loss.
Love ain’t a word you whisper light,
It’s choosing you in the darkest night,
It’s laying down what I hold dear,
So you never stand alone in fear.
Chorus
To love and to cherish, that’s the vow I made,
Not just the joy, but the price I pay,
I’ll give up what I value most,
For the treasure God placed close.
You’re not replaceable, not just mine to keep,
You’re heaven’s gift I’m called to keep
To love and to cherish all our days.
Verse 2
Cherish means I see you whole,
Not what you do, but who you are, soul to soul,
A child of God with sacred worth,
Chosen once, before this earth.
When the world is loud and cuts you down,
I’ll be the place you’re always found,
I’ll guard your heart, I’ll speak your name,
With honor deeper than desire or flame.
Chorus
To love and to cherish, not just survive,
But to lift you up, to let you thrive,
You’re not a role, not just a ring,
You’re the one my forever brings.
I choose you daily, steady and sure,
A promise humble, fierce, and pure
To love and to cherish all our days.
[Solo]
Verse 3
Love means sacrifice when it’s hard,
Letting go of pride, control, and guard,
It’s bending low, it’s standing firm,
It’s learning slow and choosing learn.
I’ll trade my comfort, trade my way,
If it brings your peace a place to stay,
Because your worth outshines my will,
And always has, and always will.
Bridge
This vow ain’t built on fleeting fire,
Or selfish want, or fading desire,
It’s covenant written deep and true,
A daily yes, a life for you.
Chorus
To love and to cherish, come storm or calm,
With open hands and steady arms,
Before God and time and passing years,
I hold your worth above my fears.
One life, one heart, one sacred pledge,
I meet you always at the edge
To love and to cherish all our days.
[Solo]
Outro
When voices fade and beauty dims,
And all that’s left is us and Him,
I’ll still see treasure, still choose you,
Because love gives up and cherish sees you true.
