I can't even type the words about what happened to Steven Curtis Chapman's precious daughter. I'm sure you can find 1,000 stories on-line about it. His youngest daughter, and her name was Maria. Imagine how that hits home for me. I simply cannot imagine his pain. I'M having such pain over it, and I didn't even know them personally. In my readings today, I found this song that he wrote, and it expresses his views on adoption beautifully.
When Loves 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 evercause 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
Please pray for peace for the Chapmans.
