(For some reason, I'm having trouble embedding this video into the post. I'll keep trying but, trust me, it's worth the click over.....)
In the months since we began the adoption process, many have asked why we are embarking on such a journey. The responses to our explanations are varied; from those who (VERY MISTAKENLY) think that we are some sort of heroes....to those who think that we've lost our minds (and, yes, I've received that exact response).
I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is NOTHING special about us, but the lyrics of this song so adequately reflect what's in our heart. Every child deserves a home.
To be remembered on your birthday
Feel a father’s kiss goodnight
To have a mother wrap her arms around you
And say it’s gonna be alright
These are the things we take for granted
That every child should know and love
It’s simply heaven’s way of telling them
They are precious in this world
Precious in this world
Every child deserves a home
Every child deserves to hear the words, “You are not alone.”
Every life on earth is sacred
Every heart is heaven’s own
Every child deserves a home
Deserves a home
They are out there by the millions
Hurting children without hope
Little boys and girls who need a family
That they can call their own
Now it’s up to us to help them
We can’t just close our eyes
Jesus loves the little children
And His arms are open wide
They are open wide
Every child deserves a home
Every child deserves to hear the words, “You are not alone.”
Every life on earth is sacred
Every heart is heaven’s own
Every child deserves a home
There’s something in their faces that tells us their story
There’s something in their cry that keeps calling out, “Don’t forget about me.”
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus died for all the children of the world
Every child deserves a home
Every child deserves to hear the words, “You are not alone.”
Every life on earth is sacred
