My parents were an absentee father and an abusive mother. But God has taken me in, and adopted me into his family! His love has taken me in, and that's more important than any parents you could have. His love lasts forever!
Thank you for sharing, I can understand exactly where you are. I had a father who was an addict and an abusive mother that the state took me away from her. I feel the Lord had taken me into his loving arms and become my true parent. This song means so much to me because of God's great love for us and he has adopted us and loves right where we need. God bless.
The voice of Steven Curtis Chapman helped lead me through some pretty dark days... God sends us what we need and I thank Him for His mercy, love and forgiveness. 🎼🖤
I used to play this song all of the time, when I was single. Then my husband "took me in", and the love of God became so tangible! This is one of the songs we played at our wedding. Thank You, Jesus! You're awesome! Thank You for taking me in soooo many years ago.
I first heard this song on Christmas day 2004..wept like a baby...now it's 2020..i see that beautiful little girl...and still weep...yet...praise God I will MEET HER SOMEDAY IN GLORY!!! AMEN!!!!
On hot backroad summer evenings looking out my trailer park bedroom window, I would listen to this song. I'd listen to it, and imagine that love was lifting me into eternal arms, cry into my pillow, and sleep until the morning light found me.
This is the most powerful song for all us Dreamers. I was fortunate to hear SCC sing this at an outdoor concert when it started raining, sending folks scrambling. But SCC kept on with the few of us remaining. Then the sun shined thru the rain as he played. He was playing for his daughter. We are just passing thru until we return to God, who is our home. Thank You Steven Curtis Chapman.
I was adopted December 1st 1980 from Guatemala City Guatemala and I thank the Lord for giving me a wonderful mom and stepdad who is my dad, and more importantly introducing me to Jesus my Savior
It's interesting to hear that that happened the same year my father was born. The Lord gave all of us the irreplaceable gift of life. You will never get another one so enjoy the one you have while you have it. I'm glad you found your home. I hope you're doing well 9 years later. I hope you were well then as well as now. God bless you.
This is deep... I’m an adoptee from Guatemala and I am so thankful to my parents who adopted me at a young age. But I do hope that one day I will be able to visit Guatemala and maybe meet my biological mother :,)
This will be forever and always will be love to me. Thank you for it. You are the best!!! Met you a long time ago at a CD signing at a record store in Orange County you are one the best days of my 65 years of living since 1/17/56. You are so amazing, thank SO very much for your for amazing talent. Much love to you and your family. Just thought you’d like to know that your music is my calm from the raging Storms that is our now, but will not be our forever out there. Love you.
I'm currently searching for my birth mother and siblings and I won't stop until I find them and I will be home soon I love you guys with all my heart 😂😂😂😂
I didn't know the meaning of this song until the sad departure of Maria Sue Chapman.Nearly 4 years of her departure, im still reeling to understand how it feels to lose someone,Her death has really changed my life.Thank You God for giving me Your ONLY BEGOTTEN SON so i may live.
This song makes me think of everyone on Earth before they find the Lord. Everyone is lonely and longing for Him weather they realize it or not and when they finally find Him, they go home to thier Father and everything is as it should be. Of course I also think of the countless people searching for thier earthly families. It breaks my heart to think that so many children go to bed each night without parents or often without any one who loves them at all. May God bless everyone one of them.
@Brandon Stubar Totally, Totally, TOTALLY true, my brother in Christ. See you on our FINAL ADOPTION Ceremony in Heaven. Until then: All Grace to you, in all ways, always. 🙏🏽❤️💒🥰
I am adopted from Russia and have a wonderful family. We are so lucky to be chosen! Love from my family and God has helped me heal and its not easy. Love to all you who are adopted. Prayers to you!!
We just found our child. Had a visitation this weekend and arrives at our home next week. 15 year old in Texas.......and this song nails it!!!!! Waited so long while he was sleeping, counting the minutes until he is here, one more week. Thank you for this song. I will be sure this is dedicated to him upon his arrival. Thank you again.
My husband and I are still on our journey to find our child through adoption. International or domestic, adoption is such a beautiful and amazing thing. This song fits so perfectly.
libravenus85 My husband and I are on the same journey. We have our hearts set on a little girl from China named Mya, but it’ll be another 2-3 years before we could start the process of adopting her (if she’s even meant to be ours. I personally believe she is. She randomly showed up in my Facebook timeline one day after we talked about adopting on the page of an organization called Love Without Boundaries Foundation. She’s also the first international child that my husband saw the picture of and told me to contact an agency. Every international child up until her he said no to and brought up the kids here in the states that also need homes). She’s currently only 3 months old, and we can’t start the process now because China has a law that says you have to be 30 and we are only 28. So please pray for her and us, and that regardless of the outcome we have peace (I’m so emotionally attached to her). I just want her to be placed in a loving home, even if it’s not with us. I’ll be praying for y’all!!
Please consider adoption through Foster Care. These kids need the gift of Family. There is no perfect child, only a perfect God who can heal, restore, create miracles. Yes, it is hard..... so is pregnancy, labor, disappointments......but soooo worth it! Get in agreement with God's plan for adoption of orphans and care for widows. There is no calling, it is just love in action.
Nice to you guys..!!! I believe in humanity after reading comments and watching all adoption stories,it gives me a new way of thinking.. i got a better life
I remember when I was a kid I would always skip this song. I listened to it now in college and it hits so hard. The message is beautiful and I'm glad to have grown up listening to Steve's beautiful music.
Steven Curtis Chapman is thee ultimate example of a REAL MAN in a world lacking of them! Have admired him since early 80's. He is remarkably talented,so filled up w/ the HolySpirit.He & his lovely MaryBeth example what God meant 4 Marriage Between man/woman 2B & also what family means! They have an amazing testimony,as parents,couple, family they survived 1 of thee most heartwrenching tragedys that any couple,parents,family could ever withstand, Their FAMILY BOND & FAITHinGOD only Bcame STRONGER
When it's real Love, two souls are joined through their hearts and spirits, they invite and ask God to enter that Love and make it stronger, then Love takes you in. We all long for agape Love, and can find so much less in love these days. Be gentle with your loved ones, especially your children. What we learn from young love and our parents takes agape Love to help us love with our whole hearts. I have learned it is very hard to find others willing to go all the way and let Love in. With God's help, we can find that courage to Love as He loves us. Love S.C.Chapman's soul in ALL his Love songs. What a good good man of God.
I met Steven almost 30 years ago when I had him in concert in New England. What was transparent about Steven was his love and commitment to glorify Christ. When love takes you is the story of Christ and what He did at Calvary for everyone. this is such a sad story, but the positive of it all is how many lives were touched through this story that will bring glory to our Savior, My wife and I will continue to pray for Steven and his family. He has a special heart. Our second daughter was dead three months in the womb and God brought her back to us. My special wife has died on three occasions and the Lord blessed me beyond favor by bringing her back to life. This song is inspired by God himself, because when love takes you in and says you belong here, that is a blessing beyond compare. May you continue to ride the morning winds for His glory as you allow our Father to use you and your journey to help change the world. Ray & Sandi Fike
This is one of those songs that bring you peace. I like the way the instrumentation sounds, Steven Curtis's voice is amazing. Greetings from Colombia Lord Jesus bless you
This song is hitting me really hard right now, my father abandoned my mother, sister, and I when I was 6 weeks old, now my mom is having a lot of medical problems and (5 strokes this year among many other issues that have almost claimed her). at this time she is recovering in the hospital tonight
@StevenCurtisChapmanOfficial001 I live in Grand Rapids, MI. Our church is highly involved with mission work in Kenya, with a pastor there. He's on the radio twice a week and our pastor writes his outlines, and then he speaks. Many are being saved, including a witch, and a witch doctor, and several hundreds of listeners. Yesterday the former witch died, but her heart belonged to Jesus( she was 80 years old) . Before she passed away, she listened to his radio show at the hospital, one doctor and several patients got saved, the day before she passed. She was hit by lightening and survived, but God took her home several days after that. I think her burial is tomorrow. She had no family ties and no funeral will be held. But we will see her in glory. Thank you for touching hearts and lives with your music.
@StevenCurtisChapmanOfficial001Jennifer the former witch , did get a funeral, 20 people got saved that day, just this week. June 15th 23. Our God called her with the love you sing about, her life was changed. But God used her for his glory. He's our great Father.
I was also adopted into my family. In June of 1990, at only four years old, my foster parents finalized my adoption. Love took me into that family in November 1985 as a newborn. Until then I had only known neglect at the hands of my bio mom. She just couldn’t be a mother and had no maternal instincts. I only recently found out how bad things could have been from another bio sibling. Being placed for adoption was truly a God thing.
I never told you I almost went to hell. But at that moment I screamed Jesus name and said, " if I go to hell than who will help Dave and Noah"? That saved my life.
My teacher showed this in class as one of his favorite songs, and told us all it was about alien abduction. Me being me, didn't believe him knowing his character and how much he likes to joke so I was the only one besides him that knew it wasn't. Now every time I hear this song I think of him, and it's now my favorite song :) I THANK HIM FOR INTRODUCING ME TO IT
5 time Grammy Award winner Steven Curtis Chapman nailed this one.Trivia: The Asian girl in the video is actually Steven Curtis Chapman's first adopted daughter, Shaohannah Hope. He and his wife Mary Beth adopted three young girls from China: Shaohannah "Shaoey" Hope Yan, Stevey Joy Ru, and Maria Sue Chunxi .. THIS is my story.. ♫♪ ♪♫♥
You are incredible Mr. Steven. You are one of the greatest singer, song writer and talented musician, that ever existed on this earth, I truly admire you for the Gift that you discover that God has given you Sir, God has truly bless you beyond your imagination and he has not stopped, I know your heart has no issues because Holy Spirit is In you. He becomes your treasure, whatever is in your heart are no longer issues,Because now the one whom is their takes cares of your issues, for He fights for you and I. I will see you in Heaven, unless God permits me I will see you hear on earth. It would be a Great Honor and Privileged!
This song is very appropriate also for a wedding. Most of the family at my wedding do not listen to Christian music and had no idea this song was about adoption. It worked very well. I used many of the songs from All About Love for my wedding soundtrack! I actually had We Will Dance in my wedding for us before we kissed!
I was a rape conceived baby. Love took me in back in 1955. I'm so grateful to both my mothers, and to my earthly adopted Daddy, and most of all to my ABBA Father in heaven.
Amen. Just make sure you still love him or her after he or she turns 18, no matter how he or she turns out. Otherwise you will have destroyed your relationship with your adopted son or daughter.
I have two younger siblings - only they don't know I'm their big sister yet. They live on the other side of the world so they're probably sleeping right now. I can't wait till the day when I can hug them tight and tell them they belong with us.
Adoption does a lot... I was adopted, it changed my life for the better. But usually adoption works out much better in a positive home. If you do adopt, don't take in too many- even one is a lot to handle. :3
This song makes me cry every time I hear it, one day I hope to be in a stable relationship with someone who wants children and be able to afford to adopt and give one or more child/children all the love and affection they deserve, may the goddess protect all who inhabit this planet
I was adapted to by some great people they treated me like their own they told me everyday why was growing up they were proud of me and happy time in their home they were really good parent they were like my real parents they adopted me in 92 that was the best thing ever because I am proud to carry on the family name that they gave me they are gone now they are in heaven with God now and I can't wait to see them again and I am where I am today because of them to great people that took me into their home never turn your back on me show me love and respect and what a family should be I love them and miss them everyday and one day I know I will see them up in heaven again
I'm adopted, I love my family I know my real parents and sometimes it's hard to actually think that I have another family out there. I know a lot of you don't care, but the comment section is to share thoughts and opinions this is actually on my mind a lot
I love this song because it really describes how much my life and many others have changed after some one adopted us.It is truly a great act of love when a person opens their heart and their home to a kid who needs love and some body to let them know that they will never be alone.Thanks Steven for this song because my father took me in and I will always be grateful.
Such a moving song and video - and so beautiful and so sad and yet hopeful - all those things that only Steven Curtis Chapman can do with such love, music that comes from his heart, so inspired by our God. Thank you, Steven Curtis
I was put into a foster at the age of 9 by the court system and never returned home. I have struggled with acceptance of the love that this song discusses. I know cognitively that my Heavenly Father loves me but I have a hard time with experiencing the love. I sometimes feels I will never feel ever accepted anywhere. However, I know through my understanding of scripture that God will always love me and never leave me.
Back in 1998 when I was just six years old I was adopted by a great family. I may have done some awful things and they couldn't keep me in their home ten years later when I was sixteen years old and I'm not at home with them at age twenty six, but I know they still love and care for me and me them I know one day we will see and be with one another.
wish I was adopted by godly parents who knows how to love and gracious accepts .. Yet Now I am adopted into God's Family and belong forever to Christ Jesus, Eternally grateful to my Abba Father Daddy God :)
I was adopted 25 years ago I still believe the letter is my birth mom wrote me when I was a baby if I had a chance today to tell my mom I did it your baby boy made it through high school and graduated and is married now to a wonderful woman who cares a whole lot about me and I care a lot about her I never found my mom at this point in time but I know my God will help me find out when the time's right I may have a story to tell you good and bad the worst part of it all is everything went downhill after my grandfather passed my dad started abusing me more he started drinking heavily is hard Dina want to be abused there was good and bad points of my life getting out of the people I have known my time here on Earth is Ben a blessing and a curse at point but I have my wife my heavenly father to think that I'm still here on Earth 25 years I would have passed April 29th this year I have not met my mom patina day that don't go by that I don't pray that she would come back to my life
Very beautiful. I have always supported life and how worthy life is. "LIFE" is what happens to you while you are making other plans. Give the gift of life.
Thank you for posting this video! I knew I'd seen it before, and I was thinking about it, but couldn't remember the name of the song! God Bless You! Thank you so much for sharing Stephen's wonderful, beautiful music!
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 wanted the lyrics while I listened to the video. Hope this helps people.
God promised to each one of us that was adopted: "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up." (KJV) "Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me." (NIV)Psalm Chapter 27 Verse 10 --Jesus Christ too was forsaken on the cross to give us the right to eternal life to live forever with our true Father: From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"). (NIV) Matthew Chapter 27 Verses 45 and 46--What should we do? Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them." (NIV) John Chapter 14 Verse 21
The entire jesus story can be traced back to over 1,000 years before the old testament. It's simply been rehashed and revised to fit a particular need. There's far more legitimate evidence of mohammed's exploits than those of jesus. Personally, I see no point in ANY religion; they serve no valid purpose. They separate rather than unite. They make promises they can't possibly keep, and expect one to accept their tenets based on nothing but pure faith. With any of them there is a mandate that non-believers and doubters are killed, in a rather horrible fashion. Followers do so out of fear, not genuine dedication. I'll pass.
Fred Flintstone prove George Washington existed. Prove that Gingiss Kahn existed. Prove Napoleon, Czar Nicholas, or any other historical man. You can’t unless you reference a history book. It’s foolish to shake a tiny fist at the sky and proclaim superior knowledge. You don’t know. Simple as that. By stating all that you said, you lost your audience. Christ never ordered killing or harmed anyone. You are mistaken. And before you babble on about the Crusades, after literally hundreds of years of Muslim expansion, the Catholic Church finally began them. It was only after centuries of killing of Christians did they go on the counter attack. History is repeating even as we debate the existence of Christ. You want to know how and why I believe, it’s because I live a changed life. That’s proof enough for me.
O Amor muda Tudo, e quando estamos ao lado de Deus e Ele nós pega no colo e diz que ali e minha casa e emocionante, Amo esse Hino, Deus Seja Louvado Sempre :)
Adoption...... one of the absolute most wonderful gifts to man!!! Originated by God, our Heavenly Father .😊
My parents were an absentee father and an abusive mother. But God has taken me in, and adopted me into his family! His love has taken me in, and that's more important than any parents you could have. His love lasts forever!
Thank you for sharing, I can understand exactly where you are. I had a father who was an addict and an abusive mother that the state took me away from her. I feel the Lord had taken me into his loving arms and become my true parent. This song means so much to me because of God's great love for us and he has adopted us and loves right where we need. God bless.
I know exactly what you mean.
@Fk TH-cam you will meet Jesus someday . I'm sorry your so full of hate.
Love Blessings To You My Brother 💖🙏🕊️✨
The voice of Steven Curtis Chapman helped lead me through some pretty dark days... God sends us what we need and I thank Him for His mercy, love and forgiveness. 🎼🖤
Two of my three daughters are adopted.
“I know you’ve heard the stories. They sound too good to be true.”
I used to play this song all of the time, when I was single. Then my husband "took me in", and the love of God became so tangible! This is one of the songs we played at our wedding. Thank You, Jesus! You're awesome! Thank You for taking me in soooo many years ago.
“Then my husband “took me in,...”. Such a beautiful statement and picture of Christ’s love. Thank you.☺️🙏🏾🥰
@veganhigler6541 is that a noun or a verb?
@veganhigler6541 oh.

Steven Curtis Chapman loves the Lord, and it is reflected in the power of his music! He has been one of my favorite singers for over 10 years.
This is deep... I’m an adoptee from Guatemala and I am so thankful to my parents who adopted me at a young age. But I do hope that one day I will be able to visit Guatemala and maybe meet my biological mother :,)
This will be forever and always will be love to me. Thank you for it. You are the best!!!

My mom turned 5 the day you were born. That's so cool. I love SCC and his music.
I'm currently searching for my birth mother and siblings and I won't stop until I find them and I will be home soon I love you guys with all my heart 😂😂😂😂
May you find her 🙏..God loves you

This song has carried and assured me for over 26 years
I can relate to this song because when I was 7 I was adopted. My adopted parents chose my brother and I. So thankful they did!!!!
Always makes me cry.... happy tears!
Fan of S.C.'s songs since the 80's!
This song makes me think of everyone on Earth before they find the Lord. Everyone is lonely and longing for Him weather they realize it or not and when they finally find Him, they go home to thier Father and everything is as it should be.
Of course I also think of the countless people searching for thier earthly families. It breaks my heart to think that so many children go to bed each night without parents or often without any one who loves them at all. May God bless everyone one of them.

Totally, Totally, TOTALLY true, my brother in Christ. See you on our FINAL ADOPTION Ceremony in Heaven. Until then:
All Grace to you, in all ways, always.
🙏🏽❤️💒🥰
That was powerful ♥️
Beautiful way to say it
I love how the strings join in with him.
Thank you for making a very beautiful song and bless us🙏♥️
One of my favorites ever. My Daughter suffered with being not to conceive. On her last egg got her baby. Though about it, but they had a miracle
Prepare me to bring these beautiful Angles home 😊❤
So so beautiful ❤️
This will play on my wedding
I am adopted from Russia and have a wonderful family. We are so lucky to be chosen! Love from my family and God has helped me heal and its not easy. Love to all you who are adopted. Prayers to you!!

I have been adopted into the family of Jesus. My whole life turned upside down but Jesus always remained
This song was on the Christmas child DVD 📀
Great video! Great song!
I am reading Mary Beth Chapmans book "Choosing to See" and it is so powerful!

This is one of those songs that bring you peace. I like the way the instrumentation sounds, Steven Curtis's voice is amazing. Greetings from Colombia Lord Jesus bless you
This song is hitting me really hard right now, my father abandoned my mother, sister, and I when I was 6 weeks old, now my mom is having a lot of medical problems and (5 strokes this year among many other issues that have almost claimed her). at this time she is recovering in the hospital tonight
Best song ever❤
This is still a song that I could live in. When GOD, love, finds me and takes me in.

Our church is highly involved with mission work in Kenya, with a pastor there. He's on the radio twice a week and our pastor writes his outlines, and then he speaks.

Thank you for touching hearts and lives with your music.
@StevenCurtisChapmanOfficial001 it would be fun to have a song about her. The witch who went to glory.
@StevenCurtisChapmanOfficial001Jennifer the former witch , did get a funeral, 20 people got saved that day, just this week. June 15th 23.
Our God called her with the love you sing about, her life was changed. But God used her for his glory. He's our great Father.
I was also adopted into my family. In June of 1990, at only four years old, my foster parents finalized my adoption. Love took me into that family in November 1985 as a newborn. Until then I had only known neglect at the hands of my bio mom. She just couldn’t be a mother and had no maternal instincts. I only recently found out how bad things could have been from another bio sibling. Being placed for adoption was truly a God thing.
I never told you I almost went to hell. But at that moment I screamed Jesus name and said, " if I go to hell than who will help Dave and Noah"? That saved my life.
Beautiful song that we all need to hear at this time .
My teacher showed this in class as one of his favorite songs, and told us all it was about alien abduction. Me being me, didn't believe him knowing his character and how much he likes to joke so I was the only one besides him that knew it wasn't. Now every time I hear this song I think of him, and it's now my favorite song :) I THANK HIM FOR INTRODUCING ME TO IT
Jesus thank you I'm so blessed
5 time Grammy Award winner Steven Curtis Chapman nailed this one.Trivia: The Asian girl in the video is actually Steven Curtis Chapman's first adopted daughter, Shaohannah Hope. He and his wife Mary Beth adopted three young girls from China: Shaohannah "Shaoey" Hope Yan, Stevey Joy Ru, and Maria Sue Chunxi ..
THIS is my story.. ♫♪ ♪♫♥
This is such a beautiful song and the way they filmed it was so beautifully done, just a work of beautiful art in motion... and emotion.
Hello from the Philippines. I love your music so much.
I will be using this song when we adopt our babys from foster care
Love takes us Home to God. I love my children, Grandchildren and School Children. I pray for their success in all areas.
I am an adopted child. I am so glad my mother chose life.
You are incredible Mr. Steven. You are one of the greatest singer, song writer and talented musician, that ever existed on this earth, I truly admire you for the Gift that you discover that God has given you Sir, God has truly bless you beyond your imagination and he has not stopped, I know your heart has no issues because Holy Spirit is In you. He becomes your treasure, whatever is in your heart are no longer issues,Because now the one whom is their takes cares of your issues, for He fights for you and I. I will see you in Heaven, unless God permits me I will see you hear on earth. It would be a Great Honor and Privileged!
This song is very appropriate also for a wedding. Most of the family at my wedding do not listen to Christian music and had no idea this song was about adoption. It worked very well. I used many of the songs from All About Love for my wedding soundtrack! I actually had We Will Dance in my wedding for us before we kissed!
I was adopted my mom was 15 had the best life ever so spoiled and loved but I would to meet you love your music.
I love you Mr. Steven you are one of my greatest inspiration artist in the World, that is Truth, you are Amazing!!!!!
I was a rape conceived baby. Love took me in back in 1955. I'm so grateful to both my mothers, and to my earthly adopted Daddy, and most of all to my ABBA Father in heaven.
patti Smith awesome story.. i was moved.. within me.. i called you Brave.. hugs
Thank you so much for telling your story. That's very heart warming.
are you patty smith for real ? or just the same name by coincidence ?
Sorry to hear that... Stay wrong...
patti Smith thanks for being such a strong and brave woman, I don’t think you’re alone. Always remember you are no less important then anyone else!
Amen. Just make sure you still love him or her after he or she turns 18, no matter how he or she turns out. Otherwise you will have destroyed your relationship with your adopted son or daughter.
I have two younger siblings - only they don't know I'm their big sister yet. They live on the other side of the world so they're probably sleeping right now. I can't wait till the day when I can hug them tight and tell them they belong with us.
This song makes me cry...Way to go Steven!!!
~~~God Is AWESOME!!!!~~~
Adoption does a lot... I was adopted, it changed my life for the better. But usually adoption works out much better in a positive home. If you do adopt, don't take in too many- even one is a lot to handle. :3
This song makes me cry every time I hear it, one day I hope to be in a stable relationship with someone who wants children and be able to afford to adopt and give one or more child/children all the love and affection they deserve, may the goddess protect all who inhabit this planet
I was adapted to by some great people they treated me like their own they told me everyday why was growing up they were proud of me and happy time in their home they were really good parent they were like my real parents they adopted me in 92 that was the best thing ever because I am proud to carry on the family name that they gave me they are gone now they are in heaven with God now and I can't wait to see them again and I am where I am today because of them to great people that took me into their home never turn your back on me show me love and respect and what a family should be I love them and miss them everyday and one day I know I will see them up in heaven again
adopted*
You made me cry God bless you
Lillian J Ellmore "god bless you" good one
Tk u so much
"There is nothing that could ever cause this love to lose its hold..." So true!
I'm adopted, I love my family I know my real parents and sometimes it's hard to actually think that I have another family out there. I know a lot of you don't care, but the comment section is to share thoughts and opinions this is actually on my mind a lot
I am also adopted, im midde aged now and finally I was able to know my birth family for a little while. I'm grateful for all God has given me!
Your true farther Is In the heavens. Him and his son Jesus have always been there and always will. Isaiah 41/9-10 13.
Phantom Productions I CARE.. ALWAYS HAD..
I care. I also was adopted. God bless you.
Phantom Productions me too. I struggle with feelings that shouldn't even be there. In the end God put me right where he wanted me.
I love this song because it really describes how much my life and many others have changed after some one adopted us.It is truly a great act of love when a person opens their heart and their home to a kid who needs love and some body to let them know that they will never be alone.Thanks Steven for this song because my father took me in and I will always be grateful.
Such a beautiful song.
Jesus is Love.
This song becomes heartbreaking knowing what happened to his poor adopted daughter.. It's beautiful, though.
So much class.
Love always wins ❤
Such a moving song and video - and so beautiful and so sad and yet hopeful - all those things that only Steven Curtis Chapman can do with such love, music that comes from his heart, so inspired by our God. Thank you, Steven Curtis
awwwwwww this is sooooooooo Beautiful, very special song
I was put into a foster at the age of 9 by the court system and never returned home. I have struggled with acceptance of the love that this song discusses. I know cognitively that my Heavenly Father loves me but I have a hard time with experiencing the love. I sometimes feels I will never feel ever accepted anywhere. However, I know through my understanding of scripture that God will always love me and never leave me.
Dennis Siefker - DOC you are sooo loved... He is here.
Back in 1998 when I was just six years old I was adopted by a great family. I may have done some awful things and they couldn't keep me in their home ten years later when I was sixteen years old and I'm not at home with them at age twenty six, but I know they still love and care for me and me them I know one day we will see and be with one another.
What a song 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
I am adopted. I know my real family. I love both moms equally.

Very beautiful. I have always supported life and how worthy life is.
"LIFE" is what happens to you while you are making other plans.
Give the gift of life.

wow i love this song
Dit lied luisterde we vaak toen wij onze dochter Lulu adopteerde :-)
Nu hebben we het erg moeilijk en God lied mij dit lied weer horen ..........
Thank you for posting this video! I knew I'd seen it before, and I was thinking about it, but couldn't remember the name of the song! God Bless You! Thank you so much for sharing Stephen's wonderful, beautiful music!
beautifull
cant find another word for discriping it
I just love this song
This song pretty much describes how I feel right now..
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 wanted the lyrics while I listened to the video. Hope this helps people.
Thank you for the lyrics. God bless you
You're the greatest!
Thank you.
Hermosa canción 😢🥺
God promised to each one of us that was adopted:
"When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up." (KJV)
"Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me." (NIV)Psalm Chapter 27 Verse 10 --Jesus Christ too was forsaken on the cross to give us the right to eternal life to live forever with our true Father:
From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land.
About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"). (NIV)
Matthew Chapter 27 Verses 45 and 46--What should we do?
Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them." (NIV)
John Chapter 14 Verse 21
Great song!!!
How true when your in Love with Your Jesus.
How about we focus our love and attention on the actual people on this planet, and not a possibly fictional character created from legend?
+Michael Vinson i love u
The entire jesus story can be traced back to over 1,000 years before the old testament. It's simply been rehashed and revised to fit a particular need. There's far more legitimate evidence of mohammed's exploits than those of jesus.
Personally, I see no point in ANY religion; they serve no valid purpose. They separate rather than unite. They make promises they can't possibly keep, and expect one to accept their tenets based on nothing but pure faith. With any of them there is a mandate that non-believers and doubters are killed, in a rather horrible fashion. Followers do so out of fear, not genuine dedication. I'll pass.
Well said and absolutely accurate!
Fred Flintstone prove George Washington existed. Prove that Gingiss Kahn existed. Prove Napoleon, Czar Nicholas, or any other historical man. You can’t unless you reference a history book. It’s foolish to shake a tiny fist at the sky and proclaim superior knowledge. You don’t know. Simple as that. By stating all that you said, you lost your audience. Christ never ordered killing or harmed anyone. You are mistaken. And before you babble on about the Crusades, after literally hundreds of years of Muslim expansion, the Catholic Church finally began them. It was only after centuries of killing of Christians did they go on the counter attack. History is repeating even as we debate the existence of Christ. You want to know how and why I believe, it’s because I live a changed life. That’s proof enough for me.
I am the prayer boy timothy lee Hart that praying for the whole world to go to heaven and leave the devil in a lake of fire and Jesus is King
beautiful
O Amor muda Tudo, e quando estamos ao lado de Deus e Ele nós pega no colo e diz que ali e minha casa e emocionante, Amo esse Hino, Deus Seja Louvado Sempre :)
