A collection of life’s building blocks
To create a human jewel
God’s wisdom carefully taking stock
Two people start the fuel
Produce meant to be from love
In guilt or holiness interwined
To fulfill will from above
Some choose to undermine
Cutting short the life God chose
He planned before creation
Denying what His love would grow
To join the celebration
One who might have worshipped
If given their life’s chance
Instead seen as a hardship
An accidental circumstance
This seed a difference might have made
That none but God could see
Sent early to an unmarked grave
And not allowed to be
Small wonder that the consequences
For such actions so darkly grow
Tearing at protection’s fences
Much festers from below
Years of following such choices
Allowing more to never be
Silencing our children’s voices
We daily grow less free
For freedom grows through righteousness
In service to the Lord
Greater the numbers who turn from He
Who such sin must abhor
If we choose not to speak or write
Defend not those too young to say
And let them feed death’s appetite
What need for us to pray
For God’s Word says He won’t be mocked
Nor does He wink His eye
By present pain why are we shocked
Tis for our sin we ought to cry
But who would dare but to suggest
Twixt sin and loss a sure connection
Lax moralists must but protest
Though we be stripped of God’s protection
Not all sermons take the form
Of paragraphs upon a page
Some messages must be transformed
And set free of the cage
For God has given different ways
By which His truth is spoken
Here is how I join the fray
Let arrows fly that lies be broken
