The prayer I prayed

Verse 1
I built my walls like a fortress high
Every promise felt like a lie
Broken words still in my head
From the ghosts of things he said

I swore I’d never let someone in
Every heart just led to pain again
Then you walked in quiet and slow
With a kindness I didn’t know

Pre-Chorus
You didn’t rush, you didn’t chase
Just held my hand and gave me space

Chorus
I was scared to love you
Scared of what love could do
Every scar said run away
But you knelt down and chose to stay

You showed me what real love means
Patience, faith, and quiet strength
Now every prayer I pray comes true
’Cause God sent me someone like you

⸻

Verse 2
A year went by like a gentle breeze
You got down on one knee
Said forever with a trembling smile
And I cried there for a while

Now there’s a ring on my left hand
And a promise that we both stand
Through the storms and through the grace
Building life in a sacred place

Pre-Chorus
Then one small line turned blue that day
And everything began to change

Chorus
I was scared to love you
Scared of what love could do
But you held me close and said
“We’ll face every road ahead”

Now there’s a heartbeat in between
Every hope and every dream
And every prayer I pray comes true
’Cause God sent me someone like you

⸻

Bridge
When fear starts whispering in the night
You hold me close and make it right
You say “God’s got us, don’t be afraid
Our little boy’s already prayed for and saved”

And I finally see what love can be
Safe arms and a family

⸻

Final Chorus
I’m not scared to love you
Not of what love can do
Every scar led me somehow
To the life we’re living now

With your hand in mine for life
And our baby on the way tonight
Every prayer I prayed came true
When heaven sent me you
