A Home with You

You were sorting winter coats by size I was putting every label wrong You said that help was always welcome Even when it took a little long Our first walk ended in a rainstorm You kept laughing all the way back home Hannah, I had never felt so certain Standing soaked beside somebody's door

And all the things I wanted changed that evening I wanted ordinary days with you

I want to build a home with you Where we can tell each other the truth Where the door stays open and the light stays warm And we turn to Jesus when the rain comes on Let our love be patient, let our faith be lived In the way we listen, in the way we give More than a beautiful day to get through I want a whole life, a home with you

Your father takes his seat beside your mother And I can barely get these words to start I've practiced till I knew them in my sleep Now you're here and I forget that part But I remember how you prayed beside me When the job I thought was mine fell through You didn't tell me everything was simple You said, whatever comes, we'll see it through

I want to build a home with you Where we can tell each other the truth Where the door stays open and the light stays warm And we turn to Jesus when the rain comes on Let our love be patient, let our faith be lived In the way we listen, in the way we give More than a beautiful day to get through I want a whole life, a home with you

When the flowers are gone from the tables And the photographs sit on a shelf I will choose you over being right I will learn to think beyond myself May the Lord keep teaching us to love Long after this first dance is done

Let's go and build a home, us two With a little more grace in every room Where the door stays open and the light stays warm And we turn to Jesus when the rain comes on Let our love be patient, let our faith be lived In the way we listen, in the way we give More than a beautiful day to get through I want a whole life, a home with you

Every ordinary day A home with you
