THE PROMISE
I see the face of God
In the one I love
Bride and groom
In prayer we gaze
Into each other's eyes
The face of God
Shining there
Love breaking through
What a sacred thing it is
To seek and find the face
Of the one you love
In the intimacy
Holy Matrimony
Flesh and sweat
Bone and soul
To become familiar with
The distinctive
Voice
Sound of the beloved's
Very person
The other entering
The front door
Particular footfall
God in all of this
Presence promised
On the altar
Promise of heaven
In our daily bread
Broken
Sometimes torn apart
Given and
Restored
In the one I love
Bride and groom
In prayer we gaze
Into each other's eyes
The face of God
Shining there
Love breaking through
What a sacred thing it is
To seek and find the face
Of the one you love
In the intimacy
Holy Matrimony
Flesh and sweat
Bone and soul
To become familiar with
The distinctive
Voice
Sound of the beloved's
Very person
The other entering
The front door
Particular footfall
God in all of this
Presence promised
On the altar
Promise of heaven
In our daily bread
Broken
Sometimes torn apart
Given and
Restored
(Galway 2016)
