Lyrics

(Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people)

Born dead in a dead world
Broken promises of flesh and spirit
Broken dreams of life and love
Self-absorption drowns out pure potential
Cold convenience steals an unborn soul
Hardened hearted self-concern enveloped in the grasp of fear
Judgment blinded by emotion, alludes to instincts of self-preservation
Lifeless hand never grasped another
Stone-deaf ears never had a chance to hear the silent cries that never rang out
Empty eyes never gazed upon the beauty
Stillborn heart never ached nor broke nor loved
A flame snuffed out before the light of day
A way of life preserved rather than a life
Slaughter of the innocent; exercise of choice
"Life is what we make it," and we take before birth
Cover up the sins incurred; preserve convenience...freedom...face

(Over 80% of americans describe themselves as christians
And yet in this same country, about 38 million babies have been aborted in the last 28 years..
If you were to put a gold memorial star in the window of every home in america
That has lost a baby to abortion
This country would form a galaxy of disgrace
Lifestyle is chosen over human life
Tragically the surgical solution has been chosen in our country
Millions and millions and millions and millions of times..
Now ask yourself why god has not blotted the united states from the face of this planet?
The only thing more staggering than the magnitude of the slaughter is the magnitude of god's patience)

Denial of the breath we breathe, exalted shame, disgrace
Rejected source of life and love, forsaken wrath and judgment
Yet peace and patience surmount the sorrow
Freedom, grace, forgiveness through the covenant of blood
