Innocence Lost

just one time for this precious one
let there be life let there be love
compassion fails it falls asleep as they
die in their youth arise a rescue from
death for a life there's just one chance
for this child in your hands taken its
future when given the choice but this child
is sacred its blood let us believe what

no one can see is a life sacrificed for
selfish reasons a broken bond between
mother and child forsaken mercy for
inconvenience a selfish choice a precious
loss regret for this unborn child put to
death still grace abounds forsaken
mercies still grace abounds
a life of regret still grace abounds
