Kindra In Christ – Silent Scream lyrics

Verse 1
A tiny heartbeat in her chest
Pumps life into this precious gift
Her fingers curled into a fist
All pointing to the God Who formed
Her in His image
Up to her mouth, she draws her thumb
Who will this little one become?
What future dreams will this child dream?
None now, for choice has stolen life
From this baby
Oh, can’t you hear her silent scream?

Chorus
O Lord, You hear the silent scream
Of every stolen life
Of every stolen dream
How can we possibly confuse
That life or death is now
A woman’s right to choose?
O Lord, You hear the desperate cry
Of every unborn soul who’s fighting for their life
The echo of a tiny voice
How can we feel this life has all come down to choice?
Our hearts have lost all sense, it seems
O Lord, You hear each silent scream

Verse 2
Her tiny heartbeat now is still
Torn from life against her will
Her future could have been so bright
All gone because another felt
They had the right
Her lifeless fingers have gone limp
We spilled the blood of innocence
Because her mother bought the lie
That this dear child inside her womb
Was not alive
Oh can’t you hear her silent cry?

Chorus
O Lord, You hear the silent scream
Of every stolen life
Of every stolen dream
How can we possibly confuse
That life or death is now
A woman’s right to choose?
O Lord, You hear the desperate cry
Of every unborn soul who’s fighting for their life
The echo of a tiny voice
How can we feel this life has all come down to choice?
Our hearts have lost all sense, it seems
O Lord, You hear each silent scream

Bridge
How can the hands of any nation
Engage in such abomination?
It’s a mass assassination
Of our future generations
How could a mother’s womb
Become her baby’s tomb?
How could a place once safe
Become a place of doom?

Final chorus
O Lord, You hear each silent scream
O how Your loving heart must grieve
That we would think we had the right
To take a life that You conceived
A life is never a mistake
When a baby is at stake
When we labor for the right to choose
We deliver lies, and life will lose
Oh Lord, how You must weep
With each and every silent scream
