You Became my Home

[Verse 1]
Saw you at church, I prayed about you,
Two weeks later came that moment in the hall
Looked way up, said, “You’re so tall,”
Didn’t know God was answering me at all.

Then I fell hard, you got scared, backed away,
I asked God to take the feelings that I couldn’t shake
Then one night I prayed, “If he’s meant to be mine,
Let him ask me himself, God, give me a sign.”

On that night, you asked me to be your girl,
One little question changed my whole world.
Six months together, then France called your name,
We learned how to love with an ocean in the way.

Different time zones, calls through the night,
Missing each other, still building a life.
You carried the pressure, you worked and you saved,
Making a future for us miles away.

New Year’s Eve, you took my hand,
Got down upon your knee.
I said yes and we embraced,
Then France called you back, and I watched you leave.

But then July 11 finally came,
I wore white and took your name.
The girl who never thought she’d be a wife
Became yours that day.

[Chorus]
You became my home,
The kind of love I never thought I’d know.
You’re the prayer I prayed
And the blessing God was saving for me all along.

When my mind gets dark,
You kiss my head and pull me close.
Say, “I love you just like this,”
When I feel like I’m too much to hold.

I could leave it all tomorrow,
Cross every ocean, every road.
Long as my hand is holding yours
And Jesus leads us where we go.

I don’t need a place to call my own—
Wherever I am with you,
I’m home.

[Verse 2]
You know about leaving, you’ve done it all your life,
Martinique, sixteen, chasing something in sight.
Basketball took you places you ain’t never known,
But every place you leave, somehow you leave a home.

That’s the man you are—you pour until you’re empty,
Lead without a title, love people plenty.
When nobody around you was walking your faith,
You still chose Jesus, you still chose grace.

And I’ve seen your past try to speak to your mind,
Tell you you’re not worthy of this family of mine.
But I know that man, and I know that lie,
’Cause I watched God redeem you right before my eyes.

You’re disciplined, gentle, you’re strong when it’s hard,
But the thing I love most is the softness in your heart.
You broke what was handed down, changed what comes next,
And you love every version of me with respect.

Anxious nights when my thoughts won’t quit,
You call my mind your favorite in the middle of it.
I don’t have to be healed, put together, or fixed—
You look me in my eyes: “I love you just like this.”

[Chorus — fuller]
You became my home,
The kind of love I never thought I’d know.
You’re the prayer I prayed
And the blessing God was saving for me all along.

When my mind gets dark,
You kiss my head and pull me close.
Say, “I love you just like this,”
When I feel like I’m too much to hold.

I could leave it all tomorrow,
Cross every ocean, every road.
Long as my hand is holding yours
And Jesus leads us where we go.

I don’t need a place to call my own—
Wherever I am with you,
I’m home.

[Bridge — stripped back, piano only]
Then April came…
Two little lines.
We started dreaming
About a whole new life.

You had faith enough for both of us.
You said God would make a way.

Then June came…
And everything changed.

You held me through our loss,
Through the bleeding, through the fear.
And while your own heart broke,
You held mine together, saying “i’m right here”

You never left me alone, through every day and night.
You put yourself last and held me as I cried.
You were patient and gentle, always by my side
You were Gods love to me when the grief left me blind.

That’s when I learned—
Strength ain’t never breaking.
Faith ain’t never asking why.
Sometimes faith is holding each other
When there’s nothing left but Christ.

And Jesus was there in that hospital.
He’s here in the grieving too.
And if I have to walk through darkness,
I’m grateful I walk through it with you.

[Final Chorus — powerful, gospel harmonies]
You became my home,
The kind of love I never thought I’d know.
You’re the prayer I prayed,
The blessing God was saving
For me all along.

When my mind gets dark,
You kiss my head and pull me close.
Say, “I love you just like this,”
When I feel like I’m too much to hold.

We’ve had joy, we’ve had heartbreak,
We’ve had prayers we don’t understand.
But I still trust the God who wrote our story
When I couldn’t see His hand.

So wherever He may lead us,
Through every high and every low,
I don’t need a place to call my own.

Long as my hand is holding yours,
And Jesus leads us where we go—

Wherever I am with you,
I’m home.

[Ending — slow, piano only]
Home isn’t where we land
Or how long we get to stay.
It’s your hand here holding mine,
Jesus leading us each day—
And I’ll keep finding home in you
Every step along the way.
