What is it you offer or what is it you ask of me?
I already have someone who loves me beyond compare.
He has given me his name. I am honored to be called his.
My husband leads me with knowledge and understanding.
I love to follow him because I know he will keep me safe.
I rest at ease because he has proven that I can trust him.
He tolerates my failures with understanding and guidance.
He patiently teaches me, pushing me toward holiness.
His rebuke is not too harsh. Every choice he makes is for my good.
His love for me is never changed by emotion or circumstance.
He will never leave me. Who could tempt me from his side?
Is there another I could desire when my beloved is so true?
He is perfect in all his ways. None are as merciful or gracious as he.
This life he has made for me is full of blessing and absent of fear.
Surely you could neither offer this to me nor ask this of me.
