The Way of Love
I lay it down
My life for you
For you are beautiful
Though storms may rage
And seasons change
In ways you don't control
My Lord has shown
The way of love
And that's the way I'll go
My life I do
Not hold on to
This world is not my home
I freely choose
What I will lose
So I am not alone
I give my life
For you, my bride
Are worth all that I own
For you, my love
I lay it down
In joy, not in defeat
I'll go the way
Of love for you
And never will retreat
I'll stay with you
Until the end
As long as I have breath
For joy, my love
To win your love
And be your closest friend
[Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ
also loved the church and gave Himself
for her. Ephesians 5:25]
