[Verse 1]
The angel's warm hands found mine
And pulled me through the crowded room
Past every face I’d memorized
Past every maybe, every much too soon
[Verse 2)
They pointed to where you stood
Like you were a secret I should understand
I laughed because it simply couldn't be
You weren't the man my dreams had planned
[Pre-Chorus]
So I checked the door, I checked the sky
I asked them twice if they were talking about "my" life
(Chorus)
Him?
I asked...
You chose him for me?
This quiet man in faded blue jeans ?
Him?
I asked...
Are you saying he's my destiny?
I couldn’t breathe,
I couldn’t believe
Him???
Did my angels really know something my heart couldn’t see?
[Verse 3]
He never made a loud or grand display
He just stood confident that he was mine
He left the porch light on when my soul stormed
And patiently waited for me without asking why
[Verse 4]
He learned the names of all my fears
And guarded and protected me from them
And while I was searching for signs
He quietly built a life where our love could live
[Pre-Chorus]
He drew a line around my heart
And sat close beside me in the dark
[Chorus]
Him?
I asked...
You chose him for me?
This quiet man in faded blue jeans ?
Him?
I asked...
Are you saying he's my destiny??
I couldn’t breathe,
I couldn’t believe
Him????
Did my angels really know something I couldn’t see?
[Bridge]
I wanted thunder
I wanted proof
I wanted burning arrows
Flying through the roof
Instead, he said,
“Babe, I'm so glad you made it home”
And suddenly I knew I'd never be alone
[Final Chorus]
Him?
I asked...
You chose him for me?
This quiet man in faded blue jeans ?
Him?
I asked...
Are you saying he's my destiny?
The one I’m now learning to believe
The answer hiding in my disbelief
And when he reaches for my hand
I understand what angels planned.
Him.
Him.
Him.
