How should you love your spouse? Just as Christ loves His bride. Selflessly. Sacrificially. To love as Christ loves is humanly possible; His version of love is our of our reach. But when we enter into covenant with Christ, He makes his heavenly version of love available by demonstrating it in and through our lives. So we too can love like the greatest lover of all time.

Princely honor set aside
As He washed the feet of His humble bride
Pouring out His breath and blood
As a sacrifice for the one He loved
And this love that spills out everything
Is the love that i pledge to you
Like the One who gave it all to me
I will give my life to you
All i have, all i am
I give you in covenant
Like broken bread and poured-out wine
I'll love you like
the greatest Lover of all time
Heroic love that led a King
To choose the road of suffering
Selflessness that just begins
Where human understanding ends
And this love that takes the lowest place
is the love that I now choose
Like the One who gave His life away
I will give my life for you
His love gave without holding back
So i will love you like that
His love paid the ultimate price
So i will lay down my life.
