I Nathan, take you Lisa, to be my wife.
I promise to love you and be faithful to you.
To care for you and cherish you,

For richer, for poorer,
In sickness and in health,
Till death do us part.
This I vow with God's help.
I Lisa, take you Nathan, to be my husband.
I promise to love you and be faithful to you.
To honour you and submit to you,
For better, for worse,
For richer, for poorer,
In sickness and in health,
Till death do us part.
This I vow with God's help.

May you grow together
May the Lord, gracious Lord,
Bless and keep you forever.
- Pastor: Prayer of Blession on Marriage
- Song: "The Servant King"
From heaven you came, helpless babe,
Entered our world, your glory veiled;
Not to be served but to serve,
And give Your life That we might live.
This is our God, the servant king,
He calls us now to follow Him, to bring our lives
As a daily offering of worship to the Servant King.
There in the garden of tears,
My heavy load He chose to bear;
His heart with sorrow was torn,
'Yet not My will But Yours,' He said.
Come see His hands And His feet,
The scars that speak of sacrifice;
Hands that flung stars Into space
To cruel nails Surrendered.
So let us learn How to serve,
And in our lives Enthrone Him;
Each other's needs to prefer,
For it is Christ We're serving.
