My Partner in Rhyme (Indie Version)

The person near, who I hold dear
My heart is never alone
The one I call bride
Stands tall by my side
With devotion she has shown

Impending doom remains, her light will sustain
Leaving fear far behind
Help will come soon
Crossing dark side of moon
A path to light you’ll find

Through thick and thin, love always wins
Fighting against shadows
In sickness and in health
Her commitment truly felt
Symbols of union and vows

In battles of life, she is my ally
The one I lean on most
Lifts me off ground
New confidence found
To defend off evil’s host

Children we share, our only heirs
Knit together in womb
Joys we call our own
Makes house a home
Brings healing to the wound

Revealing affection, brings deflection
Away from pain coped
Not just words on paper
But from our Savior
Is enough for lasting hope

Slow down time, my loving valentine
So a minute becomes an hour
With woman I married
The one I call Kari
Bloomed my heart like a flower

Slow down time, my loving valentine
So a minute becomes an hour
With woman I married
The one I call Kari
Bloomed my heart like a flower
