I bind unto myself

To love God and my neighbor

I bind unto myself

To ask for help when I am in need

I bind unto myself

To keep watch with those who weep

I bind unto myself

To treat all with dignity and kindness

I bind unto myself

To seek justice and speak the truth

I bind unto myself

To love even when others scorn me

I bind unto myself

To seek forgiveness

I bind unto myself

To keep the peace

I bind unto myself

To be faithful

——-

Peace be with you

    This was so beautiful and peaceful to read! I love how each line feels like a quiet promise — not forced, but chosen freely.✨
