I’ve never enjoyed writing pro life songs. And I wish none existed. OK, I said it. And I’m not taking it back.
But I’ll explain why I’m so anti pro life songs.
Because I’d much rather write songs about all the glorious things of God’s creation. You know; love, flowers, whimsy, and everything else that delights your senses and sensibilities.
But every day it’s easy to look around and see:
- Christians who don’t even know some of the simplest things God said in His word about the blood of the innocent
- politicians who waffle on the sanctity of human life
- celebrities who use the same ol’ worn out clichéd reasons like “life of the mother” or “woman’s right to choose”
- bloggers and other writers who simply don’t do the research
It all motivates me to think of another way to sing about it. My current circumstances prevent me from doing a lot of other things about personhood for preborn babies. But I can write songs about their plight. Then, I can post them here on TonyFunderburk.com AND on iTunes, YouTube, LinkedIn, Gab, Twitter, and even on YuckBook.
And I know that ne’er-do-wells, who don’t judge, despise me for it.
Even though they scream about, and virtue signal their tolerance celebration of diversity.
And to them I say, “Put it in your pipe, with your glaucoma medication, and smoke it.”
But if you don’t disagree with me, please support me. And other musicians, pastors, bloggers, politicians, and anyone else who recognizes the God-given right to life and personhood of everyone from biological beginning to natural end.
Help us to not write any more pro life songs. Or create “pro life legislation.” Or write pro life stories.
It’s a shame any of those things ever needed to exist. Because it’s a worldwide shame abortion exists.
Show the world you’re pro-life. It’s one of the glorious things anyone can do. Even you. Will you give it a try today? I’d love it if I could focus on happy blog posts, songs, stories, and podcast episodes.
Until that time, here’s one I wrote to showcase the personhood of unborn babies.
Personhood
You should thank your Mom cause she thought of you as a person.
From the very start she was calling you her daughter or her son.
And though life isn’t easy; our Moms still believed we would make it.
Now some call life a choice, but it’s still a precious life.
We can’t take it.
We can’t forsake it!
Give an unborn baby personhood
There’s nothing more important we can do!
Give an unborn baby personhood.
50 Million persons beg us to…they beg us to! (much more now)
We can read all the judgements, and continue to build our big plans.
But there are lives in the balance, and the choice is right in our hands.
So do we sit idle? Or is there a way we can stand tall?
Can’t we stand for life? Or do we really stand for nothing at all?
And let the innocent fall?
If human life is just sown by chance, then
Nothing we know could be bad or be good.
If we’re just embryonic particulate matter,
Then we could know there is no personhood…
But we hope and we pray
And we live for the day,
When our love becomes broad
In the image of God…
~ Chorus ~
