Stop The Madness

Stop the madness, save the land,
Save the woman, save the man
That all those babies could have been;
Abortion's one enormous sin.

Save the girl, save the boy
That could have brought a lot of joy
To the lives adopted in it,
A family, where the child could fit.

Who can tell what could have been
If those lives had not been killed by sin.
Colds could be cured, cancer mended,
If those lives had not been ended.
 

Potential lies in every tissue,
Made of every parent's issue.
But twenty years have ended millions
Of lives that could have saved our land.

For every life is used some way
To help the world on any given day.
Whether or not that life becomes the Lord's,
Whether or not that life is in God's will.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. - Galatians 6:9 NIV
