The Song: What the Father's Love can do

I was recently writing up a brochure for Pages for the Dark Horses; one that will be handed out at a local home school sale coming up in March. One of the excerpts from it was this:

“Over eight years ago, my family took a step of faith, and we started our journey down this road… one that would lead my parents halfway around the world, in order that they may hold in their arms one child. A treasure we had prayed for, longed for, and loved. Yet despite our efforts she did not love us. For the devastating reality was… no one had ever loved her… she’d never learned from the ones who should have taught her. Strangely, this child, was the very one the Lord used to teach us how to love… to love as the Father loves. And because of the adoption, today, she too loves as the Father loves.”

Today I was making a video of my siblings singing. One of the songs “All Over the World” they had written themselves. As I sat here and read through the lyrics I’d typed out, I thought about the story from my brochure and was moved at how true that transformation in my sister was. Here are the lyrics she and my little brother wrote:

All Over the World

January 2012

All over the world

All over the world

God is our Shepherd

We came from orphanages

Long ago

We are from a home now

We got a mom and dad

All over the world

God loves us too

Every day, every day

We love God all the time

He’s our Savior, God is our Savior

He loves us very much

Jesus, Jesus

He’s our… our Mighty God

God loves us, we love God
Jesus is a love for me and you

All over the world

All over the world

Jesus loves us, we love Him

God is our special Mighty God

God is the only God of Israel

All over the world

All over the world

One who came to us, having never known love has now come to declare: God loves us too…We love God all the time… He loves us very much…God loves us, we love God… Jesus is love for me and you…Jesus loves us, we love Him!

This is what Pages for the Dark Horses is all about.
