Song That Speaks My Heart

I love this song! I first heard it on an adoption video. Of course right now, the first verse is the most meaningful to me.

I hope it will encourage you too.


Swept Away

Written by Geoff Moore and Blair Masters

We would say your name
A hundred times a day
Like speaking words in faith
And with a mixture of
Hope and fear and trust
We prayed for the strength to wait
And dreamed of how we’d feel the day

At how much you are loved
Your life will never be the same
Once you’re swept away

What once was just a dream
Is now reaching up to me
And I hold her in my arms
Father thank You for the way

That we had to spend apart
And now I see the impossible dream
Is holding me and I’m…

  • That is a beautiful song! There are also some Steven Curtis Chapman (did I say that right?) songs about adoption that I heard on some adoption videos too.

  • I love EVERY song by Steven Curtis Chapman! I was so blessed to hear him sing beautiful songs about adoption in concert a couple months ago. His new song, "Cinderella," is awesome! Not specifically about adoption, but inspired by his daughters.
