Closer to Love

I came across this youtube video today and I absolutely love it. This couple adopted a baby girl from Ethiopia through the same agency that we're using, so their travel experience will likely be very similar to ours. From what I've heard, when you arrive at the transition center in Addis Ababa (the capital of Ethiopia), the children are brought one by one down the beautiful gold staircase to meet their parents. Can you imagine?? What a grand entrance! The excitement is causing a flutter inside. I want to go get our baby so badly. This waiting is going to kill me. Please watch this video:

Also, one of the songs on the video is one that I've heard many times, but never paid attention to the lyrics. I'm going to be singing it all day now, and tomorrow. I have no idea if it was written as a result of someone's adoption experience, but some of the lyrics fit SO well:

Closer to Love
Mat Kearny

She got the call today
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn't believe
It could happen to me
I guess we're all one phone call
from our knees
We're gonna get there soon

If every building falls
And all the stars fade
We'll still be singing this song
The one they can't take away
I'm gonna get there soon
She's gonna be there too
Cryin' in her room
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon

Oh it's your light
Oh it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love

Meet me once again
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin
Down with the wind
And don't apologize
For all the tears you've cried
You've been way too strong now for all your life

I'm gonna get there soon
You're gonna be there too
Cryin' in your room
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon

Oh it's your light
Oh it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love

Cause you are all that I've waited for
All of my life
(We're gonna get there)
You are all that I've waited for
All of my life

You pull me closer to love hu huuh
Closer to love hu huuuh
Pull me closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love oh no
Closer to love
Closer to love

Pull me closer to love
