lyrics

"Oh, My Little Children"
(The Father's Cry Against Abortion)

Verse 1:
Oh My little children, I have formed Your inward parts,
I have set you apart to call me Lord,
Oh My little children, weaved in your mothers womb,
As gifts I give to whom, as My reward,
For you were fearfully and wonderfully made,
But I’ve watched them take Your life away,
My spirit will not always strive with all men,
I will not put up with this sin! No! No! No!

Chorus:
For your frame was not hidden from Me,
When you were made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth,
I’ve seen your unborn substance, in my books they have been written,
And the days that were ordained for you, and your birth,
When yet there was not one of them.

Verse 2:
Oh My little children, I have heard your silent scream,
Felt the pain and suffering, incurred by man,
Oh My little children, I am angered at this loss,
Of this daily holocaust, my little lambs,
For you were fearfully and wonderfully made,
But I’ve watched them take your life everyday,
And just as they crucified My only son,
There killing all My little ones! No! No! No!

Verse 3:
Oh My little children, how I love you little ones,
In the image of My Son, you have been formed,
Oh My little children, I have watched you as you’ve died,
I have grieved, and I have cried, My heart has mourned,
For you were fearfully and wonderfully made,
But I’ve watched them make you so afraid,
I cannot let all this cruel killing pass,
I must pour out my wrath! YES! YES! YES!
