To Have and To Hold

You are my heart and you are my soul,
You are the breath in me that breathes,
I can’t help falling in love with you,
To have and to hold, be mine please.

My promise with these rings is to love,
To cherish you in all God’s ways,
For He gave you to me to honor,
To have and to hold all my days.

Please promise to be mine and love me,
Join with me in God’s eyes as one,
His blessing of favor is on us,
To have and to hold by His Son.

You have my heart to keep and now wed,
In spirit we’re soul mates in love,
I can’t help falling in love with you,
To have and to hold high above.

You are the beat of my heart my love,
Will you bless me all of my life,
Accept me as your husband to be,
To have and to hold as my wife?
