[Intro – Solo keys, soft organ swell, wind blowing through cypress trees]
A woman like her don’t need a king with a crown…
She needs a king with his knees in the ground.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Smooth, reverent tone, close to the mic like a whisper prayer]
She’s been the strong one for too long,
Holdin’ down the house, singin’ her own song.
But I see the weight hidin’ in her grace,
And I just wanna be the calm behind her face.
A man ain’t a man ‘cause he talks loud—
It’s when he knows when to kneel, when to quiet the crowd.
So baby, if you’re tired, if your soul feel worn…
Let me be the one who helps you pray through the storm.
⸻
[Chorus – Gospel harmony behind, warm and full]
I wanna be a man you can pray with,
Not just lay with, not just stay with.
But a man who grabs your hand at night,
And pulls Heaven down to make it right.
When the world’s too much and you wanna fold,
Let me be the arms that keep you bold.
More than passion, more than play—
I wanna be the man who helps you pray.
⸻
[Verse 2 – A little stronger now, her strength inspires yours]
You don’t need saving, you just need rest,
Someone to cover you while you give your best.
I ain’t here to outshine your light,
I’m here to guard it… every night.
I’ll lead us through scripture like I lead us in love,
Hold you close, lift you up to the stars above.
We’ll read from the Word, then read from your heart—
And baby, that’s when real forever starts.
⸻
[Chorus – Choir joins in, full Southern gospel flavor]
I wanna be a man you can pray with,
Cry with, rise with, stay with.
The kind of love that don’t just burn,
But bends its knees when it’s my turn.
Let the devil knock—we’ll stand as two,
My faith in God, my faith in you.
More than skin, more than flame—
I wanna be your covering… in Jesus’ name.
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken, soft and emotional]
You can have a man who texts you “goodnight”…
Or a man who prays over you while you sleep.
Baby, I choose the latter.
I choose you.
And I choose Him at the center of us two.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Stripped back to vocals and piano, raw and real]
I just wanna be the man you can pray with,
When life too heavy, when days get faithless.
I’ll be your peace, I’ll lift your name,
Wrap you in arms that know no shame.
I don’t just love your body or mind…
I love your soul, eternal and kind.
So if you’ll have me…
I’ll be the man you can pray with.
Every night, for the rest of this life.
⸻
[Outro – Soft amen from the choir, fading like incense in the air]
Mon chéri…
Let’s build an altar in our home.
