[Verse 1]
Four months in, I still choose you
In the morning, every night
You talk about the man God promised
And I wonder if I’m right
I see the peace you find in scripture
I’d never take that light away
But I can’t swear where I am going
Just to say what you need me to say
[Pre-Chorus]
I can listen, I can follow
Every question where it leads
But I need to know you love me
Not just who you hope I’ll be
[Chorus]
If I never find the altar
If I never learn to pray
If I’m still the man who loves you
Just without the words of faith
When the promise meets the person
And the hoping falls away
Could you love me for the man I am
If I never say amen?
[Verse 2]
I don’t need you to believe less
I won’t stand between you and God
Maybe someday I’ll walk beside you
Maybe this will stay my road
If that moment ever finds me
I need every word to be true
Not a promise made from fearing
That without it, I’ll lose you
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t wear belief like armor
I can’t speak what I don’t know
But my heart is here wide open
That’s the truest faith I own
[Chorus]
If I never find the altar
If I never learn to pray
If I’m still the man who loves you
Just without the words of faith
When the promise meets the person
And the hoping falls away
Could you love me for the man I am
If I never say amen?
[Verse 3]
Maybe love is not the answer
Maybe love just leaves us room
For the questions and the silence
While the truth comes into view
If God can see inside me
Then He knows I won’t pretend
And if faith should ever find me
It will find me as I am
[Bridge]
I don’t want to be your project
Or a prayer you must complete
I want to be the man you wake with
Not the man you’re waiting to meet
You can leave the door to Heaven open
I may walk through—I don’t know when
But if I’m standing here in five years
Could you choose this man again?
[Final Chorus]
If I never find the altar
But I never leave your side
If my soul still holds its questions
But my love has never lied
When forever meets the future
And I’m much the same as then
Could you love me for the man I am
Even without the amen?
[Outro]
I can promise you my whole heart
I just can’t promise where faith ends
So if I’m still this man in five years…
Would you choose me again?
