TWICE ADOPTED

There's a hole in my little heart today
As I sit here in the rain and wait, and wait
I'm painfully waiting to be adopted
It's the only way to finally stop it

Adoption Day is finally here!
So many smiles, so many tears
This is so awesome I can finally go home!
My new parents will never leave me alone

Several years go by and
     there's still a sin hole in my heart today
As I sit here in the Holy Ghost rain and wait, and wait
I'm painfully waiting to be twice adopted
It's the only way to finally stop it

Baptism Day is finally here!
So many smiles, so many happy tears!
This is so awesome I can go home to heaven!
My Friend Jesus will never leave me alone

"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; 
  but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."  Romans 8:15

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us 
     with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, 
     that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
"Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, 
     according to the good pleasure of his will,
"To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved."
                              Ephesians 1:3-6
