Global interest in Boyle was triggered by the contrast between her powerful voice and her plain appearance on stage. The juxtaposition of the audience's first impression of her with the standing ovation she received after her performance led to an international media and Internet response. Within nine days of the audition, videos of Boyle — from the show, various interviews, and her 1999 rendition of "Cry Me a River" — had been watched over 100 million times, an online record. Despite the sustained media interest, she later finished in second place in the final of the show, behind dance troupe Diversity.
Boyle's first album, I Dreamed a Dream, was released on 23 November 2009, and has become Amazon's best-selling album in pre-sales. Its first single is a cover of the Jagger/Richards song "Wild Horses." The album includes "You'll See," "I Dreamed a Dream," and "Cry Me a River." According to Billboard, "The arrival of "I Dreamed a Dream" ... marks the best opening week for a female artist's debut album since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991."

Susan Boyle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth
As it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
As we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory forever
For Thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory forever
Amen
The lyrics of Susan Boyle's "The Lord's Prayer" are a powerful expression of faith and devotion. The song is a musical rendition of one of the most well-known prayers in the Christian religion. The prayer is addressed to God the Father, acknowledging his presence in heaven and his holy name. The first two lines establish the setting for the prayer, reminding us of God's exalted status and our humble position.
The next few lines of the song invoke a sense of anticipation for the coming of God's kingdom on earth. The phrase "Thy will be done" expresses a desire to align our own wills with God's plan, and to be a part of his divine purpose. The petition for daily bread reflects our reliance on God for sustenance and provision. The references to debts and debtors, forgiveness and temptation, remind us of our need for spiritual guidance and strength in the face of life's challenges.
The final lines of the prayer express a sense of awe and reverence for God's kingdom and his power and glory. The repeated refrain of "For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever" reinforces the idea that all things belong to God, and we are privileged to be a part of his creation. The prayer ends with the word "Amen," which is a Hebrew word that means "so be it" or "may it be true." It represents a solemn affirmation of faith and commitment to God.

A beautiful song with such grace and feeling to a prayer I grew up hearing in Church and School Although never sung until much later. It truly brings us closer to our creator God in all his glory and splendor and enables us to continue on in hope to see our place with him one day. Amen.
