I have always heard (but have no experience) that it is simply "I affirm" instead of "I swear". The rest of the words are the same. I guess I would highly recommend that you tell the lawyer that you going to do this before you go onto the stand. They may want to tell the judge so he is not suprised.

Is there a standard affirmation used instead of swearing to uphold Texas laws ? I do not feel that I can place human laws in a position above God's.
