LET ME LIVE

“Open your mouth for the speechless, and in the cause of all appointed to die. ”

~ Proverbs 31:8

In six days, our Nation will face what can only be described as a truly historic Election Day. Opinions and emotions are running high: seems like everyone has something to say. Yet, with all of the voices clamoring and crying out, there is one voice we can’t hear, one voice too small to perceive…

One voice with more at stake in this election than any of the rest of us.

Below is a song my Mother recently wrote(*) capturing the innocence and desperation of that one voice. As you go to the polls this year, I pray you hear it singing in your soul and it influences every ballot you cast…

Because your vote will either save that voice—or snuff it out.

“Let me live, see who I can be | You’ll never know if you don’t see me | Let me live, don’t throw me away | My life can make a difference today

I know you are afraid, you don’t know what to do | But God will show the way, He’ll give you strength to carry through

I know that you don’t want me now, but you’ve never seen my face | Or looked into these eyes of mine and seen the glory of God’s grace

My life will serve a purpose, I’m already in God’s hands | Don’t kill me: please don’t end my life by abortion on demand!

I didn’t ask to be here, but here is where I am | Mommy, you’ll regret your choice if you never hold my hand

He is here for you, He is here for me, and even if you can’t keep me there is still a place for me…

Let me live, see who I can be | You’ll never know if you don’t see me | Let me live, don’t throw me away | My life can make a difference today!

He is here for you, He is here for me, and even if you can’t keep me someone else is waiting for me…

They’ve been praying for a baby before I was ever conceived | Asking for a child to love, a child they can receive

I’m trusting you to help me with every beat of my heart | Please let my life develop—it’s up to you to do your part!

Let me live, see who I can be | You’ll never know if you don’t see me | Let me live, don’t throw me away | My life can make a difference today!

I’m alive! Please let me survive! | Don’t listen to the lies: I am alive!

Only you can decide if I live or if I die…

Don’t stop my beating heart…

I’m already alive.

Let me live! See who I can be | You will never know if you don’t see me | Let me live! Don’t throw me away | My life can make a difference…

Your life can make a difference…

Our lives can make a difference today!”

Yes, they can!

This election, be a voice for the voiceless…

Because God can hear them.

CHOOSE HEROIC,

CHRISTIS JOY
