Die Hintergrundgeschichte zum Song: My song begins back in July 2016 when I was participating in World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland. There was a 'Night of Mercy' for 60,000 English speaking pilgrims which included speakers, music and adoration. I had really started to question my vocation in life and was searching for a deeper relationship with God. Distractions were everywhere, but as soon as the Blessed Sacrament came, I felt such peace. I felt so close to Jesus that night and experienced something so special that led to me truly placing Him at the centre of all I do.
My prayer was also answered and later that year in December 2016 I did indeed find my soulmate. Meeting through the Church, our faith and love of Jesus took us through some difficult times and eventually led us to the Vatican in July 2019 where we became engaged. We married in August 2020 during a year of uncertainty and have now been married nearly a year. I thank God everyday for calling me to this vocation and for blessing our marriage.
Lyrics: Sitting in a crowded space,
People here from every place,
Struggling to block out the noise
To focus, pray and hear your voice.
Hoping to find some clarity
"Lord, what is your plan for me?
I pray to find my soulmate one day.
Where shall I go? Please show me the way."
And then you came and silence fell,
60,000 on their knees, adoring You.
Shining on me, Your true presence here,
I offered myself in this prayer...
Oh I believe in You, I trust in You,
Lord, You know my heart and all I do.
With You all things are possible, this I believe to be true.
You see my life, my finished tapestry,
I'll pray, say "yes" and let it be.
My next chapter had just begun,
With God at the centre, my number one.
I found my soulmate and he loved You too,
We lived our lives in service of You.
Following our call to love,
Imitating the Saints above.
Being ourselves, who we're called to be,
He chose the moment and fell on one knee.
And from that day
we started out on the road to holiness, with You by our side.
In good times and bad,
I come to You and offer my life in this prayer...
Oh I believe in You, I trust in You,
Lord, You know my heart and all I do.
With You all things are possible, this I believe to be true.
You see my life, my finished tapestry,
I'll pray, say "yes" and let it be.
Our Wedding Day had now arrived
Dressed in white, a glowing Bride.
Standing here before You now,
Professing our love, proclaiming our vows.
May You help us always see
You are the author, You hold the key.
Bless us Lord in all that we do,
This is our prayer, we sing it to You...
Oh we believe in You, we trust in You,
Lord, You know our hearts and all we do.
With You all things are possible, this we believe to be true.
You see our life, our finished tapestry,
We'll pray, say "yes" and let it be.
You see my life, my finished tapestry,
I'll pray, say "yes" and let it be.
