United Pursuit + Andrea Marie - Let It Happen Lyrics
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
United Pursuit’s "Let It Happen," featuring Andrea Marie, released in 2015 as part of their album *Simple Gospel*, is a profound anthem of surrender and faith that resonates deeply within the Christian ethos. The song's central message is a powerful invitation to relinquish control and trust in God’s sovereign plan, even when circumstances are unclear or challenging. This theme echoes throughout Scripture, perhaps most strikingly in Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." "Let It Happen" encourages a similar posture of humble dependence, advocating for a willingness to step into the unknown with the assurance that God is guiding the way. The lyrics implicitly speak to the transformative power of yielding, much like the Apostle Paul’s exhortation in Romans 12:1-2 to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is our spiritual worship, and not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. This act of allowing God to orchestrate our lives, to "let it happen," is not a passive resignation but an active participation in divine purpose. The song beautifully captures the spirit of Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, where He submitted His will to the Father’s, saying, "not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42). It’s a testament to the peace that comes from acknowledging God’s omnipotence and wisdom, a peace that surpasses all understanding, as Philippians 4:7 promises. The musical offering serves as a vessel for this rich theological concept, prompting listeners to consider the freedom found in releasing anxieties and embracing God’s unfailing love and guidance, mirroring the Psalmist’s declaration in Psalm 23: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." Ultimately, "Let It Happen" is a call to a deeper, more courageous faith, reminding believers that in surrendering to God’s will, we are stepping into the fullness of His intended purpose for our lives.
