This is a wedding song from John Burland‘s latest album Into the World.
It is more broadly applicable than usual, as it has nothing that makes it specifically Catholic or Christian. In a Mass it would best fit as a reflection.
The sheet music is available as part the collection for a reasonable low price at his website.
It is in the key D#m which has six sharps (oh dear) and is a solo vehicle as it goes very high (F#). I suppose it could stand to come to Bm at least.
My BIAB backing can’t match his slick production but could be used to learn the song.
1 I’ve waited so long praying for a love so strong
And someone who could understand what I’ve been going through.
Someone who could love me, someone who could hold me just like you,
Never knowing you were there waiting to be loved.
I was searching just for you.
Chorus
You are the one my heart beats for, you are the one who I adore.
It’s the love I need forever, the love I need always.
Cause you are the one my hearts beats for.
You are the one who’s love I’m sure is the love I need.
I am yours… You are the one my heart beats for.
2 You’re here beside me, for the rest of my life,
Standing together now as husband and wife.
Building our tomorrows, sharing all our dreams as we go.
Chorus
Bridge
I was waiting here to find you, never knowing you were there.
Waiting to be loved I was searching just for you
Chorus
You are the one my hearts beats for.

That song has no business being a part of any Catholic wedding liturgy. It has nothing to do with the Sacrament of Matrimony. It’s not even a good song in itself.
