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

"When Love Takes You In" ~ Steven Curtis Chapman

  1. Lovely, dearie, lovely.

    What glorious lessons and opportunities lie here, in our singlehood.

    And what a glorious day it will be when we step into something different.

    But for now, by God's understanding and bountiful grace, we wait presenting ourselves holy and pure before Him. Singing to Him our love, whispering to Him our dreams, crying to Him our pains . . . and like a good Father, He helps us.
