"to find you"

Some people have been asking about the song that I wrote about our adoption so I figured I'd post the lyrics here.

This song was written from our anxiousness during this time of waiting. For those of you who have adopted before, you know that the tension between wanting your child so badly and having to wait to meet them, almost drives you crazy at times. That's where this song came from.


To Find You

There's a mother with a burden, she carries down deep
For a child across the ocean that she's yet to meet
And though for now she's left here waiting
In her heart anticipating
With all she has she begins to sing


I'm coming soon
I'm coming soon
I'm coming soon
To find you

There's a father who is trying to walk in belief
To love the lost and lonely and the "least of these"
And though his walking has him waiting
In his heart anticipating
With all he has he begins to sing


I'm coming soon
I'm coming soon
I'm coming soon
To find you

And a light will shine on you
And we will see the same light too
And we will know it's true
That we've been waiting all this time
Just for you

I'm coming soon
I'm coming soon
I'm coming soon
To find you

The recording of this song will be on the acoustic CD coming out this fall. More info on that soon...

I love these lyrics. I can't wait to hear the CD. Has it come out yet? I can't wait until you find your little one.

With Love,
