Never Had a Chance

NEVER HAD A CHANCE
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you" Jeremiah 1:5

Why do we kill,
God's precious ones?
The Lord made it clear,
They are worth more than the sun.

Abortionists do shout,
They scream and dance.
But the holy unborn,
Never had a chance.

God never gave our leaders,
The right to kill His Own.
This is the biggest sin on earth,
The worst we've ever known.

Never had a birthday,
No first day of school.
No childhood friends,
How could we be so cruel?

We cannot stand by,
God's unborn cannot cry.
We must get involved,
Not fold our hands and sigh.

Our churches let this happen,
What a terrible sin.
Say "there's nothing we can do",
They let the evil win.

Pastors should you not be preaching,
Against this evil act?
Can't do it, we are told,
Bishop says do not react.

Life, liberty and the pursuit,
The Declaration writes.
Except for those we kill,
They have no civil rights.
