Andrew, As I've told you before, there are no words to adequately describe what it is I feel for you, or how I've come to love you.
My hope, my prayer, my commitment to you - to spend the rest of my life showing you.
Apart from God, I am weak and poor. Thankfully, He has equipped me through His Spirit to be able to honor you, build you up, encourage you, and give you the respect and love that you deserve as His child. I am so blessed and honored that you are committing to walk hand in hand with me through the joyful times and times of suffering and sorrow.
Andrew, there is none that compares to you. Your kind love to me has reached to the very depths of my heart and soul. I rejoice to know that God has made and prepared us one for the other in His timing - divine and perfect.
My vow, above all things, is to seek and love our Lord as He gives me ability to do. For He is the source and foundation of our love. He called me His before you called me yours, and so I will always be - His, then yours. And so these things - my heart, my love, my strengths, virtues, weakness, foibles, my life do I commit to you without reservation, my beloved and my friend.
Spoken by Andrew to me as his vows the same day:
When it comes to love there are no words fit to describe its grandeur or assay its value. Yet, as men have done since Eden, I will try, and in so doing must use some words that have already met my pen. You will recognize some of them from a poem of the same title I wrote for you last May, before I had even laid eyes upon you. They are only more true now.
CORD OF LOVE
Their sound is music to my ears
Words so simple, yet profound.
"I love you" spilling from pen or tongue:
Naught to compare can be found.
Your heart is like a looking glass
Reflecting my love for you,
For though your words so thrill my soul,
Your heart shows me that they're true.
What love is this? Oh! Glorious truth!
A love to last forever!
For since our God has brought us here,
Our parting will be never.
A love that transcends time and space,
Because of all God's favour.
The cord of love in Christ our lord
Will bind us fast together.
I cannot love you as I should
Apart form my blest Saviour,
So as I pledge my life to you
I ask him for His savour.
A savour of love through it all,
Whatever our life may bring
I pledge my all to you today,
To you my only lover.
If life be rich, or if it's poor,
You are my constant treasure
Sickness or health, joy or sorrow,
I'll love you beyond measure.
