Do You (Really) Love Life?
Written and performed by Timothy Brindle and Alyssa Wade
Verse 1: The unborn son
I am a fetus being created by Jesus
fearfully and wonderfully made, amazed at this Genius
My brain with its pieces and my face with its features
are being stitched together like theyâve been made by a seamstress
In my motherâs womb, Iâm being woven together
Spilling over from His joy, the overflow of His pleasure
âIntricately weaving meâ (ŚšÖ»ïÖ·ŚÖ°ïÖŽŚ) – it has me baffled
thatâs the same word for the embroidering of the veil in the tabernacle (Ps. 139:15; Ex. 28:36)
Your eyes saw my Embryo, tendons grow (Ps. 139:16)
Then My tiny ten fingers grow, then my toes – ten of those
Your Presence is all around – itâs all profound
You see me in my Mommyâs womb before she had an ultrasound
You planned my birth – I am your Handiwork
The Same Hands who made the expanse and the planet earth!
Youâve begun My little tongue to give an abundance of praise
Your love is displayed in how I am wonderfully made
At the moment of conception, Youâve begun my soul
Psalm 139:14 – this word for âWonderfulâ (Ś ÖŽŚ€Ö°ŚÖžŚÖŽÖ„ŚŚ)
is the one place in Scripture where the natural
is described as SuperNatural cuz this act of crafting me is so Masterful!
Do you see this glory thatâs revealed by the LORD?
Feeding me from my Mother from my Umbilical cord?
I canât wait for the sight – to see her face in the light,
But wait, now my Mommyâs contemplating TAKING MY LIFE!!!
Chorus: Do you love, love life? Do you love, love life?
Do you REALLY love life? Do you love, love life? (2x)
Verse 2: The Pregnant Mother
âHello, this is Pam from PlannedParenthoodâ
âHi Maâam, Iâm pregnant, and I didnât plan very good
I fear what will be said of me,
My peers, they will be dreading me,
I will appear pathetically,
My whole careerâs ahead of me.â
âYes, you want to go to college and grow in knowledge.
But if you have this baby, then all your hopes demolishedâ
âBut Iâm nervous that itâs murder and Iâll pay for this.â
Then she gave me assurance that my insurance will pay for this
Besides itâs MY rights – itâs MY life
Iâm RIGHT, I likely wonât regret this decision in hindsight
Sacrifice my life? No, I canât afford to give it
…So now Iâm here at the Abortion Clinic
Whoâs this crowd wearing LoveLife t-shirts, in action?
Their knee-jerk reaction is teamwork compassion
A woman stepped forward, she first was asking:
âWill you LoveLife, or be a pre-birth Assassin?
âSatan tried to kill baby Jesus, but He escaped to Egypt
So that on the Cross, Heâd be slain to pieces
To pay for our sins, and then He was raised to free us.â
So I fell on my knees and my life I gave to Jesus!
Then she embraced me, as I screamed, âJesus save me!
By your redeeming grace, I choose to keep this baby!â
Then she embraced me, as I screamed, âJesus save me!
By your redeeming grace, I choose to keep this baby!â
Chorus: Do you love, love life? Do you love, love life?
Do you REALLY love life? Do you love, love life? (2x)
Verse 3: The Grown Son
Now Iâm a grown man 20 years later
Like Mom, who taught me the Word, I have trusted Christ as my Savior
Though she chose my birth, some moments she groaned with hurt
But we were surrounded with love and help from our Local Church
They gave a Baby Shower,
The Saviorâs Strength and Power
gave all-sufficient grace in every single painful hour
They discipled my mother
Dad was not around, but they embraced her as a sister,
and in Christ, Iâm their brother
Itâs plain to see, her Pregnancy left a Legacy
For the Praise of the Alpha and Omega – the A to Z!
Now we stand with LoveLife outside PlannedParenthood
To declare that the God Manâs very good
We see a young motherâs face, sad with contortion
She has just come to this place to have an abortion
âMiss, inside they will destroy your little boyâ
I say, âyoung lady, only Jesus can fill your voidâ
âBut Sacrifice my life? No, I canât afford to give it
My only choice is here at the Abortion Clinicâ
âDonât sacrifice this life at the abortion clinic,
Accept the Sacrifice of Christ – your life, the Lord will fix it
Donât sacrifice this life at the abortion clinic,
Accept the Sacrifice of Christ – New Life, the Lord will give it!â
She was moved by His love, and by our love for each other
She chose to keep her child and then was hugged by my mother
Chorus: Do you love, love life? Do you love, love life?
Do you REALLY love life? Do you love, love life? (2x)
Outro: Do you love? (6x) Do you love, love life?
