What I Want Love to Do (Expanded – Testimony + Scripture) [Verse] Hold her close like the air holds the rain Lift her up like the wind lifts a flame Let her laugh till it echoes the sky Touch her heart like the night touches time [Pre-Chorus] I don’t want love to whisper small I want it to shout I want it to crawl [Chorus] Let love paint her world in gold Let it steal her breath then hold Every moment Every sigh What I want love to do to my wife [Verse 2] Bend her fears like the moon bends the tide Break her doubts till there’s nowhere to hide Kiss her tears till they taste like a song Dance in her veins Where it’s wild and strong [Pre-Chorus] I don’t want love to tiptoe by I want it to scream I want it to fly [Chorus] Let love wrap her in its fire Let it take her higher and higher Every moment Every sigh What I want love to do to my wife [Verse 3 – Your Life / The Road] When the miles take me out of her arms When the night hums with worry and storms Let my love cross state lines and time Be the strength she feels when she closes her eyes Let it sit with her late in the dark When the house is quiet, kids asleep in their rooms Let it remind her she’s never alone Even when I’m far, she’s still my home (Psalm 139:10 – “Even there Your hand shall lead me.”) [Verse 4 – Father / Provider] Let my love be the way our kids learn hope The way they see faith still hold Let it show them a man who stays Who doesn’t run when the weight feels grown Let it say: this is covenant, this is choice Not perfect, but present, steady in voice (Ephesians 2:10 – “Prepared beforehand…”) We’re walking a road You already know [Bridge – Scripture + Promise] I am my beloved’s And my desire is for her (Song of Solomon 7:10) The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me (Psalm 138:8) So my love won’t fade, won’t fail, won’t flee Every hour was Yours before it was mine (Psalm 139:16) So I’ll love her boldly—no fear of time [Bridge 2 – Anxiety to Trust] I won’t try to add hours by worry or fear (Matthew 6:27) I’ll spend every one loving her here If all things work good when I trust Your hand (Romans 8:28) Then let my love be part of Your plan [Final Chorus – Expanded] Let love paint her world in gold Let it steal her breath then hold Let it speak when words fall shy Let it be felt when I’m not by her side Let love wrap her in its fire Let it take her higher and higher Every moment Every sigh What I want love to do to my wife [Outro – Quiet, Certain] Not loud for the world Just true for her This is what love does When it’s chosen When it’s sent When it’s mine
