Lyrics
"You’re full of life now
And full of passion
That’s how he made you
Just let it happen
And he calls each one of us
By our names to come away
And he whispers to your heart
To let it go and to be alive
YEAH he calls each one of us
By our names to come away
Be alive!
Be alive!
Come alive!
Come alive!
So take me back
Back to the beginning
When I was young
Running through the fields with you"

Meaning & Inspiration
Let It Happen uses the language of life, calling, and return to describe a response to God. The opening affirms life and passion as gifts rather than achievements. From there, the song pictures God calling each person by name, speaking to the heart, and inviting release from what prevents full life. Its repeated cries to be alive and come alive give the brief lyric the character of both invitation and prayer.
The image of being called by name closely echoes Isaiah 43:1, where God tells his people that they belong to him. The emphasis on abundant life also fits John 10:10, in which Jesus contrasts destruction with the fullness of life he brings. The closing request to return to the beginning, with childlike freedom in the fields, adds a desire for renewed simplicity and closeness. Rather than explaining every detail, the song holds together identity, surrender, and restored vitality in God’s presence.
