I just listened to a young, 20 year old man’s pro life (aka abolish abortion) speech he gave just a few days ago. And his exhortative, yet encouraging words, impressed me in a unique way. Because I know this guy. And because, other than his parents, I’m probably the first person to sing to him when he was a baby.
And I say encouraging words because he’s only 20.
When I was his age, I didn’t even know America had an abortion problem. And that wasn’t long after Roe v Wade became the so-called “law of the land.” So, it’s mighty nice to know there are younger people who understand the need to stand up for the most innocent human beings on the planet.
And it’s encouraging to know this 20 year old guy stands on the right side of the wall. If you’d like to know more about him or hear his speech, let me know, and I’ll share some links.
If You Stand Behind That Wall
There’s a wall here between life and death
Where the unborn are denied their first breath.
There are guards here making sure that life ends
And they don’t care that they’re killing our friends.
Well you can’t plead ignorance…You don’t stand blameless
When you stand in the middle of it all.
As you discard the innocent you shake foundations.
If you stand behind that wall, you will fall.
There’s a clear line between right and wrong.
Listen close, please, to the words of this song.
We were all, once, where those babies are now.
Mothers kept us…we all made it somehow.
Well, the martyred little ones your choice keeps nameless
Never had any single choice at all.
Please don’t discard the innocent…they’re God’s creation.
If you stand behind that wall, you will fall.
You will fall from Grace to a hopeless place
With eternal, mournful cries.
And the sound you’ll hear ringing in your ear
Is the sound of your own lies.
