I HAVE FOUND YOU

"I Have Found You" is a joyous, custom-written wedding song that captures the profound moment a couple arrives at the altar. Drawing directly from the Genesis story of Adam and Eve, the opening lines remind the congregation of the first marriage, setting a deeply scriptural foundation for the celebration. When the choir sings "This is the bone of my bones," it echoes the ancient recognition of finding one's true counterpart.

The piece is structured with a cascading, celebratory refrain where the voices layer over one another, expressing the sheer delight of the wedding day. The verses walk us through the journey of courtship—searching, finding, and finally stepping forward into the presence of God and His people to receive the sacrament of matrimony. It moves beautifully from the excitement of the search to the solemn, enduring vows of loving in joy, sorrow, sickness, and health.

Originally dedicated to a specific couple, Bernald and Gloria, the final verse playfully addresses the bride and groom, instructing them to take care of one another. For any choir preparing music for a nuptial Mass, this song offers a bright, rhythmic, and deeply personal touch to the liturgy, perfect for the procession or the signing of the register.
