Fading memories ignored
I crawl across the forest floor
Pool reflects an orphan child
Dirty, lost, alone and wild
Fatherless and nameless still
Fallen heart and broken, will
there ever be a place where I belong
I cower ‘neath the monster trees
And try to stand on tired feet
But gravity knocks me to the ground
Where I give up, and tears roll down
I claw the dust and beg the end
Curse the day that I began
to hope there’d be a place where I belong
I hear a sound I recognize
You lift my chin and seek my eyes
Song of love You sing to me
I ache to sing it back to Thee
"Father Love prepares a place
Brother Jesus leads the way
Follow to the place where you belong!"
How did I miss this wondrous song?
The forest sang it all along
"River rinses all your shame
Father offers you His name
Father Love prepares a home
Brother Jesus leads you on
Follow to the place where you belong!"
"Father Love prepares a place
Brother Jesus leads the way
Follow to the place where you belong
Follow to the place where you belong!"
- Chris Rice
I think this is one of the best adoption songs I have ever heard. You can get it here (
, AmazonMP3) if you are interested.

Wow - that was special. Merry Christmas to all of you, Zach.
Yes! Thank you! God is good.
That was just beautiful. What a journey it has been. God is just so good! Merry Christmas to you.
I'm thankful for you and your family - and others like the Bode's in Minneapolis - who see adoption not as an answer to infertility, but as a way to glorify our Heavenly Father who has adopted us into His family.
