In sickness and health
This vow lingers in my my mind
Never have I’ve been married
Yet the thought impressed me

What does that look like in a single situation
Has your family stood in the gap
Have your friends become your chosen kin
Do you feel like an alien in you skin

Abandoned by those you’ve loved
Laying down your life
For issues that caused them strife
Risking trials and tribulations

Now that you’re down
No one seems to be around
How can you turn your own smile upside down Lifting your countenance out of the frown

What happens when you’re the life of the party
Now the party is over
The lights are off as the decorations have been trashed
Now uncommon feelings allow you to lash out

Bow down to the Holy One
Lay your ills at His feet
Rest in His retreat
As He restores what you perceived as defeat
