Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Years of living in a great
abyss

Denial shielding from the
child I miss

No freedom ever, to know
loving bliss

For fear of finding the
emptiness

A shell of a person, I acted
out a part

In order to cover my deadened
heart

I searched for peace, but I
found none

Peace left my life with the
death of my son

But You God, loved me more in
this loveless place

And you sought me out to
instill your grace

You invited me to trust you in
my misery

And you promised me mercy to
set me free

Fully aware of my faults and
the sins that were there

You came to me in my darkest
despair

You showed me your love
helping me to break through

No human could do it, it had
to be You

For only your love could mend
the distortion

The shame, grief and lies that
come with abortion

Yes, only Your loves deep
enough to break through

And replace all the pain with
the love that is you

My life is in praise of Your
life now within

That has caused me to flee
from occasions of sin

I shutter to think where my
life now would be

If You had not given
your mercy to me.
