To Have and Hold
To Have and Hold
I may not have much money or a house
At times I feel I am poor as a mouse
But I am glad I made my faithful vows
I am so blessed to have a loving spouse
She shows her love as though I am a king
And yields her heart just like an endless spring
For when the morning birds began to sing
I feel as though I can do anything
And every time I hold her in my arms
That I become obsessed with all her charms
T'is then my cold and lonely heart she warms
And in those moments free from all alarms
That which I have, I give for you to hold
While walking hand in hand, till we grow old
I’d rather be with you through years untold
Than sigh and weep alone, with tears of gold
My God who gave me you to have and hold
Gives love eternal and grace manifold
