"A God moment", as my friend says

I hope I don't get in trouble for this.  I'm not claiming it as my own (and anyone who has been to a wedding or to church in the past 16 years or so would know it, anyway, most likely) and I found it on the Internet, anyway.  I just had to share this from yesterday.  Several things to share from yesterday, but this is the one thing that sticks out in my mind.  The explanation comes at the end of the song.  I think I know a little about how those who read David's prophetic psalms immediately after the event actually took place must have felt, in a convoluted sort of way.
If home is really where the heart is
Then home must be a place that we all share
for even with our differences our hearts are much the same
And where love is we come together there.
 
Wherever there is laughter ringing
Someone smiling, someone dreaming
We can live together there
Love will be our home.
Where there are children singing
Where a tender heart is beating
We can live together there
Love will be our home
 
With love our hearts can be a family
And hope can bring this family face to face
And though we may be far apart our hearts can be as one
When love brings us together in one place.
 
Wherever there is laughter ringing
Someone smiling, someone dreaming
We can live together thereLove will be our home.
Where there are words of kindness spoken
Where a vow is never broken
We can live together there
Love will be our home
 
Love will, love will be our home
Love will, love will be our home
Love will, love will be our home
Love will, love will be our home


  
This was written by Steven Curtis Chapman around 1988.  I saw it yesterday morning as I was going through my new music book while I was waiting for the wedding party to arrive.  This song has always touched me, but yesterday I didn't think I was going to be together in time for the wedding.  All I could think was, "What we're doing and what he has done is EXACTLY what he was talking about and he didn't even know it then!"  And then, when I got home, I had an e-mail from Rich saying that the Chapmans were going over to China  for number 3!!  SO prophetic for him and SO meaningful and encouraging to us!
 
And, before you ask, who knows?
