One Less

Music gets to me. It gives me shivers, produces uncontrolled emotion, gets me thinking. If I could choose just one song to sum up why we have chosen adoption, it would be One Less by Matthew West. It speaks to me. 

I found this video of Matthew's song...I don't think it is his original music video, but it is powerful. Please take a moment to watch it and say a little prayer for all the orphans around the world.

*Remember to pause the music at the bottom of my page if you are going to watch the video!

There’s a child

Been abandoned out on the street

Now she’s waiting for someone to be her miracle

There’s a wife

Somewhere halfway around the world

Begging God for a little girl she can call her own

Well, worlds collide, and colors fade

And a man and wife brought their little girl home today

And there’s one less

One less

One less broken heart in the world tonight

Yeah, there’s one less

One less

There’s one less broken heart in the world tonight

 

 

We are called

To the widows and the orphans

But it’s easy to ignore their silent cries

Oh, but every single time

Somebody reaches into the darkness

Makes a choice to help the helpless

They let mercy save a life

 

 

Well the truth is we are all the orphans

But love has left the ninety-nine

Just to find the one

One less night alone

One less child without a home

One less birthday gone forgotten

One more soul rising from the bottom

One less

One less

There’s one less broken heart in the world tonight
