[Female]
Because I love you
I won't fight
Against your right to choose.
I'lll respect your boundaries,
The limits you've set,
For in fighting I will lose
Your confidence in me,
Your love, respect and trust.
I will be a friend
And help you in your need.

I will not abandon you, forsake you,
Or leave you to walk your path alone
-- I'lll do it because I love you.
I will lift your burdens,
Carry your weight & lighten your load.
"So you don't have to."
I know it is a long, tiresome road.

I will keep you safe
And love you unconditionally
-- For that is what friends do you see,
And how I'll show you I am true.
I will respect you, love you
And remember we are equal.
I love you very much my friend,
And I will show it
The way you need it.

[Male]
Because I love you
I won't fight
Against your right to choose.
I'll respect your boundaries-
The limits you've set-
For in fighting I will lose
Your confidence in me,
Your love, respect and trust.
I will be a friend
And help you in your need.

I will not abandon you, forsake you,
Or leave you to walk your path alone
-- I will do it because I love you.
I will lift your burdens,
Carry your weight & lighten your load.
"So you don't have to."
I know it is a long, tiresome road.

I will keep you safe
And love you unconditionally
-- For that is what friends do you see,
And to show you I am true.
I will respect you, love you,
And remember we are equal.
I care about you a lot my friend--
And I'll show it
The way you need it.

[God]
Because I love you
I have given
You the right to choose.
I hope you'll keep my commandments
And try much harder to be true.
I respect your space
The boundaries you have set;
I'll let you make your way to me
E'en though that hasn't happened yet.

I will never take away a gift that I have given.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
I've marked the path to heaven.

Because I love you
I let them nail me to a cross.
I suffered in Gethsemane;
I was willing to pay the cost--
So you didn't have to.
Because I love you
I won't go back on my word
--Every promise I have kept,
For I Am the Lord.

Because I love you
I will not abandon you, forsake you,
Or leave you to walk your path alone.
I will do it because I love you.
I will lift your burdens,
Carry your weight & lighten your load,
Again, so you dont have to.
I know it's a long, tiresome road.

I will keep you safe,
And love you unconditionally
--For that is what friends do, you see.

And to show you I AM True
Every heartache, every healing,
Every step that you will take,
I will be right there beside you.
I will provide the strength you need--
the courage and faith as well-
Just bring me what you have
And see
That I will cover the rest--
Because I love you.
