Not the fleeting, fashionable
cute and cuddly – I Do.
No, this isn’t the thing we’re talking about
I Will.
Power of God, commitment continuing
Covenant people responding in-kind.
The God of Creation offered Himself
in sacrifice and in Communion
A perpetual relationship,
Loving, nurturing
All we have to do
Is answer His –
I Will –
with our own –
I will.
It is an invitation of grace
first held out for Abraham
now open to all nations
through Jesus Christ,
our Lord and Savior
I will;
Will you?
