Him?

Lyric

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 16 days ago 1 min read

[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.
