Verse 1] (soft, slow — almost talking at first)
I was lost… in the quiet… late at night,
(brief pause)
Prayin’ for a sign… for a little light,
Then You called my heart… (hold “heart”) led me through—
And right there, Lord… (pause) You gave me you… (stretch “you”)
Every doubt… started fading slow,
In your eyes… I found my hope,
Now I see… what I couldn’t see—
You were always there… guiding me…
⸻
[Pre-Chorus] (build slightly, more emotion)
So I lift my hands… (small pause) I lift my voice,
Thank You, God… (pause) I made this choice—
To love her right… to see this through…
(soft drop)
Ingrid… (hold 2–3 beats) I choose you…
⸻
[Chorus] (full voice, open emotion)
You gave me a love… that feels like home, (stretch “home”)
Not by my strength… but Yours alone,
Through every high… through valleys too,
I see Your grace… when I see you… (hold “you”)
Every good gift… came from above,
You placed her here… inside my love,
(lean into this line)
So I’ll give her all… You call me to—
(big emotional hold)
I’ll stay right here… (pause) with You and Ingrid too…
⸻
[Verse 2] (pull back slightly, intimate again)
When I’m weak… yeah You make me strong,
You’ve been right here… all along,
Through her heart… Lord, You showed me truth,
What it means… to really love like You…
I’m not perfect… I fall sometimes,
But I’m growing… more with time,
Every step… I’m learning to be—
The man You’re calling… out of me…
⸻
[Pre-Chorus] (stronger than first)
When she’s hurting… I won’t run,
I’ll stand beside her… not undone,
With You as my strength… I’ll carry through—
(drop soft again)
Ingrid… (hold) I got you…
⸻
[Chorus] (strong, same as before but add power on last line)
You gave me a love… that feels like home,
Not by my strength… but Yours alone,
Through every high… through valleys too,
I see Your grace… when I see you…
Every good gift… came from above,
You placed her here… inside my love,
(push emotion)
So I’ll give her all… You call me to—
I’ll stay right here… with You and Ingrid too…
⸻
[Bridge] (worship moment — slow, powerful, let it breathe)
Build us strong… on solid ground,
Where Your love… is always found,
(soft pause)
When the storms… come crashing in,
We won’t break… we stand in Him…
Be the center… of all we do,
Every step… Lord, lead us through,
(slow down here)
This love is more… than me and you…
(long pause)
It’s me… (pause) and her… (pause) and You…
⸻
[Final Chorus] (start soft → build big → end gentle)
You gave me a love… I prayed to find,
A heart like hers… one of a kind,
Through every season… I’ll stay true—
Walking in faith… with her and You…
(build strong)
And if forever… is where this leads,
She’s the answered… prayer I need,
(slow it down)
So I’ll love her the way… You want me to…
(final soft landing)
I’ll stay right here… (long pause)
Right here with You…
(whisper/soft)
…and Ingrid too.
