Commitment
Sanctus Real's 'Commitment' is a Christian song about the enduring nature of true love in marriage. It contrasts fleeting feelings with a steadfast promise to stay together through all circumstances. The lyrics emphasize that commitment, not just emotion, is what sustains a relationship, and they reference the couple's shared faith in Jesus as the foundation. The song speaks of growing old together, supporting each other, and remaining faithful even when feelings fade. It encourages a selfless, sacrificial love that mirrors Christ's love for the church, making it a fitting anthem for weddings and marriage celebrations.
It's no mystery what the difference is
Between love that lasts and one that's caving in
It takes more than a feeling if you wanna survive
In a world that blurs the lines between wrong right
Trades true love for a compromise
I wanna finish the life we started
I wanna be two old beautiful souls that stayed with it
And in those times our feelings fade I'm gonna give you the one thing
That makes all the difference
Commitment
Some people say, you shouldn't have to change
Somebody should love me exactly the way I am
Maybe it's true, but I'll do whatever it takes
To help you realize that I'm in for life
To lift you up and lay down my pride
Oh yeah
Cause I wanna finish the life we started
I wanna be two old beautiful souls that stayed with it
And in those times our feelings fade I'm gonna give you the one thing
That makes all the difference
You have my commitment
I'm with you, through any kind of weather
I'm with you, sunny days or disaster
I still do, and it's never gonna matter
What we're going through, cause we're in this together
And I wanna finish the way we started
Just two broken souls clinging on to Jesus
We've seen His faithfulness and grace and I wanna love you that way
I wanna finish the life we started
I wanna be two old beautiful souls that stayed with it
And in those times our feelings fade I'm gonna give you the one thing
That makes all the difference
Commitment
You have my commitment
