Heavenly Father
By whom all things were made
Son of God
By whom the world's ransom was paid
Holy Spirit
By whom we are given spiritual life
Bless this husband and his wife.
Keep them in Your loving arms,
Guard them from every type of harm,
Bless them with a heavenly love,
That is like Yours sent from above.
Keep them on the narrow way
Until they are with You on that glorious Day. Amen.

Oh, Lord, my God, how great is your mercy!
You have fed me with abundance;
You have clothed me and sheltered me.
You have given me everything,
though I deserve nothing.
But lo, I do deserve something!
I deserve to be cast into the utter depths of hell.
I deserve to be thrown into outer darkness.
I deserve Your eternal judgment and wrath,
O most Righteous Judge,
for I have sinned.
Yet, you have placed on the shoulders of another Man
the very thing which I have earned.
You punish the Innocent One
who is pure of heart.
You condemn the Righteous One, and give grace to the wicked.
Why Lord, do you do this for me?
How long will you turn your ears from my cursing?
Or, how long will you forgive my backsliding?
You have made a covenant through the blood of the Innocent One
that these things will be forgotten forever!
Oh Lord, how great is your mercy!
How abundant is the grace that you show to your servant!
Purge me from my evil ways, so that I may serve You only!
Help me to be your servant, oh my God of love!
Work in me Your will!
Tend my battered heart, so that it does not grumble towards Your goodness.
Release me from my guilt.
Rescue me from my erroneous ways.
You are my source of comfort!
You are my strength!
You are my Rock that never budges!
All glory, praise, honor, and every goodness
be to Your name,
and to the name of Your Innocent One.
