"When Love Takes You In"

For years the Chapman's had strongly supported friends and organizations who were involved in adoption, but they had no idea how much their role would grow. Their daughter Emily Chapman approached her mom and dad about adopting a new little one into their family. At first, Steven and Mary Beth resisted and felt sure that their "background" role was what God had for them. Emily's prayers, the support of her brothers Caleb and Will, and of course...a God who is always at work! changed all that. The Chapman's now have adopted three little girls from China, Shaohannah Hope, SteveyJoy and Maria Sue. They have become passionate champions for adoption starting a foundation for adoption assistance and advocacy called "Shohannah's Hope", named after the first of their adopted daughters.

"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
