Back in the Day -- Little Ones

One of the most prolific songwriters of his era has been Phil Keaggy. He is a talented musician (plays acoustic and electric guitar) but I've most admired his songs played on the acoustic guitar. Those have always touched me as being thoughtful, reflective and sensitive to one's relationship with God.

There isn't a lot of public discussion on the subject of abortion today, perhaps because of the role situational ethics has had in our society. It's difficult for a person to both acknowledge the life and viability of a child while simultaneously deciding to terminate a human life.

Perhaps someone reading this post has had an abortion, is comtemplating one or knows someone who's faced or is facing this decision. This post was not written to condemn anyone but to affirm that God loves you and unborn children.

"In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." -- 1 John 4:10, NASB

Who will speak up for the little ones? Helpless and half-abandoned. They've got the right to choose life They don't want to lose, I've got to speak up, won't you? Equal rights, equal time, for the unborn children. Their precious lives are on the line, How can we be rid of them? Passing laws, passing out Bills and new amendments. Pay the cost and turn about, And face the young defendants. Who will speak up for the little ones? Helpless and half-abandoned. They've got the right to choose life They don't want to lose, I've got to speak up, won't you? Words and Music by Phil Keaggy Copyright 1980 Sparrow Records
