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.
