Because you chose me,
I choose you.
Because you first loved me,
I now love you.
Because you have always been faithful to me,
I want to be faithful to you.
Because you rejoice in me,
I rejoice in you.
Because you long for me,
I long for you.
Because you will not turn from me,
I will not turn from you.
Because you remain in me,
I remain in you.
Because you are patient with me,
I will be patient with you.
Because you will not force your will on me,
I will not force my will will on you.
Because you suffer with me,
I suffer with you.
Because you initiate,
I respond.
