- I recently acquired Kathy Mattea's album _Untasted
- Honey_. On that album is one of the most romantic songs I

- the lyrics.

- To the love we share
- Through the good and bad times too
- I'll forsake my rest
- For your happiness
- 'Til my death I will stand by you
-
- Chorus:
- 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
