Verse 1
We were dust on broken roads, two stories with some scars
Both been through the fire, both carried heavy hearts
Alaska sky, Olnes Pond, four wheels in the dirt
Didn’t know back then, God was working through the hurt
You were steady like an anchor, I was drifting like the tide
Oil and water, worlds apart—but somehow side by side
Didn’t make sense to me then, but Heaven always knew
You were what I needed… before I ever knew you
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, we’ve bent but never broke
Grace carried what we couldn’t hold
⸻
Chorus
I still choose you
On the hard days, on the long nights too
When the fire fades and the feelings move
I still choose you
Through the highs and the falling through
Every promise God pulled us to
I said forever—and I still do
Yeah… I still choose you
⸻
Verse 2
Church pew, nervous hands, didn’t see it coming
Told ‘em we’d share what the class had done—and I started running
Right into forever, right into your yes
Put a ring on a promise I ain’t never gonna forget
Said “I will never leave you”… meant every word I said
Not just to you—but to God above our heads
We built more than a family—we built a place called home
Where no matter what we face… we ain’t facing it alone
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, we’ve stretched, we’ve been tested too
But God’s been faithful pulling us through
⸻
Chorus
I still choose you
On the hard days, on the long nights too
When the fire fades and the feelings move
I still choose you
Through the highs and the falling through
Every promise God pulled us to
I said forever—and I still do
Yeah… I still choose you
⸻
Bridge (Spoken / Soft Build)
Like it says in Song of Solomon 8:6…
“Love is strong as death… unyielding as the grave…”
This ain’t just love…
This is covenant.
⸻
Bridge (Sung – Big Build)
When you’re sinking—I’ll be your ground
When I’m lost—you turn me around
We take turns holding steady now
Anchored… lifting… love somehow
Oil and water—but look at us
God made something out of dust
Yeah, we don’t quit, we don’t run
We fight, we pray, we overcome
⸻
Final Chorus (Full / Anthem)
I still choose you
When the world shakes and the skies ain’t blue
When we’re worn down but we make it through
I still choose you
Every season, every truth
God wrote me into you
I said forever—and I still do
⸻
Outro (Soft / Intimate)
Fourteen years… and I wouldn’t change a thing…
Not a mile, not a tear, not a memory
I don’t love you just because I feel it…
I love you… because I choose you.
