In the previous post, I explained how Susie Krauter, a songwriter from the Seattle area, was inspired to compose a song on behalf of a family from her church who was waiting to adopt a son from China.

The lyrics to the song, “Love Found Me” are below. You can listen to the song at Susie’s Web site, Tru North Music.

Shelbe Knapke, who was 14 at the time the song was recorded, sang the vocals and the choir is comprised of former orphans (one of them, the boy who is the subject of the song) adopted with help from The Shepherd’s Crook.

Susie notes that those who obtain permission from her may use the song for free.

Love Found Me
(c)2003 by Susan Krauter

Dedicated to the Forward Family & their son Isaiah

Miles away across the sea, someone dreams of me...
Is this true? How can it be? That a family holds me in their heart?

I found love when no one seemed to care...
I found love! I thought no one was listening...
Oh love found me! And I’m down on my knees...
Take me to my family.

A man came from across the sea, with a package wrapped just for me...
A gift of love to help me know the love for me that my family holds!

I found love when no one seemed to care...
I found love! I thought no one was listening...
Oh love found me! And I’m down on my knees...
Take me to my family.

At night... I lay in my bed and dream most splendid things...
And the day will come soon when I’ll be with you forever!!!

Chorus: I found love when no one seemed to care...
I found love! I thought no one was listening...
Oh love found me! And I’m down on my knees...
Take me to my family.

Tears of joy run down my face...
I am waiting for the day...
Take me to my family.
