When Love Takes You In

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

I'm a HUGE fan of the Chapman family, they are considered heroes in my eyes (even prior to the recent tragedy) because of their heart for adoption and the program that they've started (Shoannah's Hope) for couples like us. When Steven Curtis wrote this song, it touched my heart on so many levels. I've always known that I would adopt at least one child, even prior to knowing about my infertility issues. So when I hear a song like this, it just affirms it in my spirit even more. I'm so excited about the possibilities of sharing my life and love with children around the world that so desperately need to belong. I hope the journey begins soon!
