Words and Music by Don Francisco, 1977 (Capo 1st Fret if desired)

D                             A
I could never promise you on just my strength alone
    G                                   D              A
That all my life I'd care for you, and love you as my own
      D                     A
I've never known the future, I only see today
 C                 ?m7              A                  D              G    A
Words that last a lifetime would be more than I could say

         D                                      A
But the love inside my heart today(tonight) is more than mine alone
   G                             D                  A
It never changes, it never fails, never seeks it's own
   D                                  A
And by the God who gives it, and who lives in me and you
C                  Em7                       A                 D           
I know the words I speak today(tonight) are words I'm going to do

(Chorus)

   Bm                Em             G              A
And so I stand before you now for all to hear and see
G                 Em              A               D
I promise you in Jesus' name the love He's given me
     Bm                   Em           G            A
And through the years on earth and as eternity goes by
     G                       Em                      A
The life and love He's given us are never going to die

(Interlude)

(Chorus)


   Bm                Em            G               A
And so I stand before you now for all to hear and see
G                  Em             A               D
I promise you in Jesus' name the love He's given me
        Bm                 Em          G            A
And through the years on earth and as eternity goes by
      G                      Em                     A
The life and love He's given us are never going to die
      G                      Em  A                  D
The life and love He's given us are never going to die
