 A Prayer For The Unborn

Lord I pray this Sunday morn
for those souls that are unborn
still a fetus in the womb
souls of love that You would groom

Keep them from man's every whim
whose abortion rates are dismal grim
destroying those that You create
playing God with children's fate

They name it "choice" to soothe their guilt
dissolving that which You have built
to live and love in You abide
is ended in infanticide

Of all the sins that man has wrought
this is the worst one of the lot
Lord, of this evil we repent
for the killing of the innocent

Woe to those on judgment day
who stand before You when You say,
"I judge you not, but to these I give, 
these souls that you denied to live,

will judge you now at Heaven's gate
and hold the power of your fate
so hope their mercy will abound
for in you was no mercy found".
