The Storm

If I asked you to marry me, what would you say?
"Yes!" "No!" "Are you crazy?" "I don’t know what to say."
I wonder if our love could out live the years;
Could our love survive all the heartaches and tears
Of a lifetime together;
How well would we weather
The storm?

The storm is raging everyday
"Stay warm with me", the lovers say
But they don't realize the cost
The storm is strong
Their warmth is gone
Their love is lost.

The storm is raging through the night
The lovers' love is growing slight
Their higher hopes, now faded dreams
I heard them cry
"All love must die,
Or so it seems".

The storm still rages in the morn
From lovers lovers' love is torn
And borne into the storm to die
And though we would
It does no good
To wonder why.

The storm doth rage throughout the earth
And it doth show mankind love's dearth
The mirth of lovers rarefied
Their joy gives in
To all their sin
Their love has died.

If I ask you to marry me, answer me true;
I know I am crazy, but still, I love you.
I know if we try that our love will survive;
With God as our union, I know we can thrive
On a lifetime together;
I know we can weather
The storm.
