When Love Takes You In

Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

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

hullo joy... =)

my name is siehjin, i linked here from the "After Our's" blog... i just watched the play last night, and i really enjoyed it!

actually we met for a few brief seconds in the foyer... dunno if u'll remember, i was the guy who had just watched his first play =P... and i found it really thought-provoking, too. thanks once again for a great show. =)

btw, i like steven curtis chapman, too! i sang a song by him, "I Will Be Here", when i proposed to my wife a couple of years ago. i was so nervous, i forgot the lyrics twice =P

God bless! =)

hey, thanks for visiting my blog and dropping a comment! =)

'flaws'... i don't think the play was flawed, per se. like i said, it was well done. but but i do think that there's a basic difference between the worldview and values portrayed (advocated?) by the play, and those held by myself (mine are supposed to be christian and biblical, heheh).

one of the things i wondered, after watching the play, is whether i would be able/willing to act in it, if i were an actor. i'm still pondering about it. i think it might be difficult... there would be a tension between what i believe to be true and right, and what the play is portraying as true and right. do u face such a tension? how do u deal with it?

haha, well, i've sung and acted before church audiences before (strictly amateur, nowhere near your level) with less butterflies in my stomach! =P i think the nervousness had more to do with the fact that i was proposing than anything else =)

thanks for the invite, but i doubt i'll be able to watch plays very often. don't want to blow our budget, which is pretty tight with house instalments to pay off. also, we actually stay in seremban, so it's difficult. but i certainly do hope to bring The Wife along to another play, someday...=)
