Lyrics Kathy Mattea

Kathy Mattea

The Battle Hymn of Love

I will pledge my heart

To the love we share

Through the good and the bad times too

I'll forsake my rest

For your happiness

'Til my death I will stand by you

With God as my witness

This vow I will make

To have and to hold you

No other to take

For rich or for poor

Under skies grey or blue

'Til my death I will stand by you

There are wars and there are rumors

Of wars yet to come

Temptations we'll have to walk through

Though others may tremble

I will not run

'Til my death I will stand by you

I will put on the armor of faithfulness

To fight for a heart that is true

'Til the battle is won, I will not rest

'Til my death I will stand by you

With God as my witness

This vow I will make

To have and to hold you

No other to take

For rich or for poor

Under skies grey or blue

'Til my death I will stand by you

'Til the battle is won

I will not run

'Til my death I will stand by you
