I will (A) pledge my heart to the love we share 
 
Through the good and the (E) bad times (A)too. 
 
I forsake my rest for your happiness 
 
Till my death I will (E)stand by (A)you 
 
chorus 
With (D) God as my witness this (A) vow I will make 
 
To have and to hold you no other to (D) take 
 
For (A) rich or for poor under skies gray or (D) blue 
 
Till my (A) death I will (E) stand by (A) you 
 
 
There are wars and there are rumors  of wars yet to come 
 
Temptations we'll (E) have to walk (A) through 
 
Though others may tremble I will not (D) run 
 
Till my (A) death I will (E) stand by (A) you 
 
 
I'll (D) put on the armor of (A) faithfulness 
 
To fight for a heart that is (E) true 
 
Till the (A) battle is won I will not (D)rest 
 
Till my (A)death I will (E)stand by (A)you 
 
chorus
