This is not a recent recording but I stumbled across it today and couldn’t help laughing at the end. Be sure to listen all the way through… sometimes these copyright/rehearsal recordings get interrupted… 🙂
The song is about meeting my husband, by the way. The song is mellow because I was kind of overwhelmed with joy—overwhelmed/teary.
Overjoyed

Beautiful friend
I’m seeing you more and more every day
For you’ve been touching my heart
Healing me, restoring faith
You said if I’d delight in you
You’d satisfy my longing
I never dreamed that it could be so sweet, it’s overwhelming
And I’m overjoyed
Years I have prayed
For someone who’d stay close to me
Someone who’d walk by my side
To hold my hand, to hold me at night
You said if I’d delight in you
You’d satisfy my longing
I never dreamed that it could be so sweet, it’s overwhelming
And I’m overjoyed
Oh I have found my dream
And it’s better than I thought it would be
I have found my dream
And it’s breathing new life into me
And so I just praise, ‘cause I don’t know what more I can say
For only you could bring such a love
To heal, to restore my faith
Oh I will still delight in you
You’ll satisfy each longing
As you hold us in your love, a love so strong
It’s overwhelming
I’m overjoyed
