Lyrics
Verse
On the twenty second of January, two thousand and twenty three
I didn’t know the plan, but Heaven did for sure
I saw Katja smile and everything changed in me
Like God said softly, “Son, this one is Yours”
I was walking blind, but mercy knew my name
Grace met my life when our worlds aligned
From that first moment, Lord, my heart understood
You don’t make mistakes, You only make good
Pre-chorus
What You join together, no man pulls apart
You were writing forever while I was finding my heart
Chorus
This is our testimony, this is our song
You gave me Katja, the love I waited for so long
Katja is beautiful, kind, a mirror of Your grace
Every prayer I never spoke, You answered in her face
You completed my life when You placed Katja in my hands
Not by chance, but promise, written in Your plan
Her smile still breaks chains, lights my darkest days
God, I thank You for Katja, I thank You for the way
Verse
Every year with you, Katja, I still see His hand
Faithful in the moments we don’t understand
When the road was heavy, when the nights were long
His love kept us steady, kept us strong
Like Ruth to Boaz, I stayed with belief
Not just loving you, but standing in faith
Pre-chorus
You crowned our lives with mercy we didn’t earn
You taught our hearts how to love and learn
Chorus
This is our testimony, this is our song
You gave me Katja, the love I waited for so long
Katja is beautiful, kind, a mirror of Your grace
Every prayer I never spoke, You answered in her face
You completed my life when You placed Katja in my hands
Not by chance, but promise, written in Your plan
Her smile still breaks chains, lights my darkest days
God, I thank You for Katja, I thank You for the way
Bridge
You knew our ending before our start
You wrote Katja’s name across my heart
Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh
Every year with Katja, Your mercy feels fresh
What You have spoken will always stand
I vow to love Katja by Your command
Chorus
This is our testimony, Heaven knows our name
From January twenty two, nothing stayed the same
You turned a moment into destiny
Turned meeting Katja into eternity
Our lives are fuller, our hearts are whole
Because You gave me Katja, You healed my soul
Thank You God for Katja, thank You God always
Outro
Written before time
Held by Your hand
Forever my love, Katja
Forever Your plan
