about

A reflection on Roe v. Wade and a no-win situation.

lyrics

Sacrifice (Sam Arthur)

1. They are orphans of the night, never see the light of day,
Never knowing human love; their lives just swept away.

2. They are wonderfully made, with the seed of God inside;
They are sought out and destroyed in the darkness where they hide.

Cho: And they die without a sound; like a stone they sink from sight.
But they fall to Heaven’s day, leaving us to this dark night.

3. And our loss is more than theirs though we live and they must die;
We have thrown away their gift to humanize and dignify.

Cho: And they die without a sound; like a stone they sink from sight.
But they fall to Heaven’s day, leaving us to this dark night.

4. They go casually below as their angels weep above;
Oh, they are the sacrifice to our idolatry of love.

Cho: And they die without a sound; like a stone they sink from sight.
But they fall to Heaven’s day, leaving us to this dark night.
