When love takes you in

When Love Takes You In is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman.  I think it has been around for a long time but I heard it for the first time on the radio recently.  It is a beautiful song about adoption. 

As we wait and pray for the rest of our children to come home this song touches me deeply.

Here are the words...

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

As Mother's Day approaches I am so grateful for the sweet boys God has given me.  I look forward with anticipation to the day I meet the ones yet to come.
