A BABY'S CRY

(this song co-written with my brother Stephen)

Sometimes, late at night

when everything is still and quiet

Jesus, sometimes I can hear

a baby's cry, I hear a baby's cry

“Abort me not, for I've done you no wrong

my only crime is needing love

and wanting to belong”

“Abort me not, for I've done you no wrong

I only want to live to love you

and to finish my song

to finish my song”

Jesus will it be alright

If I weep with you and God tonight

will your angels weep too?

Can they hear the sound

of a baby's cry

“Abort me not, for I've done you no wrong

If you only knew how much,

I need a mother's arms

Mama please don't do

this thing you're planning too

Don't you understand, that I'm God's gift

of love to you?”

“Jesus you were so so right

when you said they know not

what they do

For you too gave them only love

yet still they hated you

So just like you, I'll forgive her too

For me, there's no room in her life

and even though you made me just for her

she will take my life,

tonight she'll end my life”

Sometimes, late at night, I can hear

a baby's cry
