A great adoption song...

Most of you have heard of Steven Curtis Chapman, and Shaohannah's Hope, dedicated to helping orphans, since he himself has 3 adopted girls from China. I have his new awesome CD All Things New and totally love his music. I found from one of his older CD's Declaration a sound called When Love Takes You In, it talks about adoption from the childs point of view and the family's view. I am totally in love with this song and can't get it out of my head..here are the lyrics:

I know you’ve heard the stories, but they all sound too good to be true, You’ve heard about a place called home, but there doesn’t seem to be one for you

So one more night you cry yourself to sleep, And drift off to a distant dream..

Where love takes you in, and everything changes, A miracle starts with the beat of a heart, When love takes you home and says you belong here, the loneliness ends and a new life begins ,when love takes you in

And somewhere while you’re sleeping, someone else is dreaming too, counting down the days until they hold you close and say I love you, And like the rain that falls into the sea, In a moment what has been is lost in what will be...

When love takes you in, everything changes, A miracle starts with the beat of a heart,

And this love will never let you go, there is nothing that could ever cause this love to lose its hold,

When love takes you in everything changes, A miracle starts with the beat of a heart, When love takes you home and says you belong here, the loneliness ends and a new life begins, When love takes you in it takes you in for good, when love takes you in.

Steven has a new Christmas CD coming out called All I Really Want for Christmas and OMG look at the cover...

He is also having a Christmas Concert tour with MercyMe, and I have already asked Mom to get me tickets as soon as she can. His first tour date is going to be the day after Thanksgiving and he is coming to Greenville, SC..YAY! I will be going to his first 2005 Christmas tour concert!
