Heaven Knew My Name

Verse

On the twenty second of January, two thousand and twenty three

I didn’t see it coming, but Heaven saw me

I saw Katja smile and my whole heart fell

Like God leaned close and said, “Son, this is well”

I was walking broken, mercy called my name

Grace touched my life the moment you came

From that one breath, Lord, my spirit knew

You don’t make accidents, You make truth

Pre-chorus

What You join together, no man pulls apart

You were writing forever inside my heart

Chorus

This is our testimony, this is my cry

You gave me Katja, Lord, when I was dry

Katja is beautiful, heaven in her face

Every silent prayer answered by grace

You placed Katja in my trembling hands

Not by chance, but promise, written and planned

Her love broke chains I didn’t see

God, You saved my life when You gave her to me

Verse

Every year since twenty second of January, twenty three

I still feel You holding me

When my faith gets heavy, when nights are long

Katja reminds my heart to stay strong

Like Ruth stood faithful, she stood in truth

Not just loving me, but believing me through

Pre-chorus

You crowned our lives with mercy unearned

You taught our souls how love is learned

Bridge

You knew my ending before my start

You carved Katja’s name in my heart

Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh

Every year with Katja feels heaven-fresh

What You have spoken will always stand

I give my life, Lord, I give my hand

Chorus

This is our testimony, Heaven knows our name

From twenty second of January, twenty three, nothing stayed the same

You turned one look into destiny

One moment into eternity

My heart is alive, my soul is whole

Because You gave me Katja, You healed my soul

Thank You God for Katja, I’ll thank You always
