Lyrics
I will myself to thee
I will cherish the rose
and the seeds that are sowed this day
I will myself to thee
I will carry the load
As we start down the road together
I will myself to thee
In the wait I'll grow strong
Though the fruits may be long in coming
And should there children be
I'll give thanks forever more
For the gifts that crossed our door
Refrain:
Love is patient, love is kind
love must be put first in line
love's the soil of humankind
you needn't turn around 'cause I'm right behind
And should you lose your will for me
In this place I will stand
And offer my open hand
As a testament to love
As a testament to love
As a testament to love
As a testament to love
Love is patient, love is kind
love must be put first in line
love's the soil of humankind
you needn't turn around 'cause I'm right behind
I will myself to thee
In the light we'll grow strong
And the harvest not long in coming
And if you lose your way
In this place I will stand
And offer my open hand
As a testament to love
As a testament to love
As a testament to love
As a testament to love
