SWEPT AWAY

I'm not myself since I learned of my newest daughter. I'm a total mess! I wish I could explain, but there's so much emotion and not much that I can put into words. I forgot what it was like to have a child on the other side of the world that I am helpless to go and get. I feel so much, but I don't know how to share the intensity of the hopes, fears, worries, longings, helplessness, and so much more that I'm experiencing as we wait for everything to fall into place. The following song is playing in my mind almost constantly these days:

SWEPT AWAY
Written and performed by Geoff Moore

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 strength to wait
And dreamed of how we'd feel the day
You'd be in our arms and…

(chorus)
Swept away
Caught up in our love
Home to stay
You'll never be alone
You'll be amazed
At how much you are loved
Your life will never be the same
When you're swept away

What once was just a dream
Is reaching up for me
I hold her in my arms
Lord, thank you for the way
You held her all those days
That we had to be apart
And now I see the impossible dream
Is holding me and I'm…

(chorus)
Swept away
Caught up in your love
Home to stay
I'll never be alone
And I'm amazed
At how much I am loved
Life will never be the same
I've been swept away
