Let’s be honest…sometimes it’s hard to keep in this battle, day after day after day. There are moments when we might question why in the world we’ve taken the burden of saving lives on our shoulders.
A few things keep me going – my ever-encouraging husband, looking into the eyes of my own children, confidence that I’ve been called by the God I serve, and music. Yep, music.
When I’m alone in the car, I love to turn up my radio all the way, and let the music blast. Here are five songs I hope inspire you to keep on fighting, until every, single life – from fertilization to natural death – is valued as it should be.
If you have a special “pro-life anthem” of your own, share it with us all in the comments.
1. More Than You Think I Am by Danny Gokey
This isn’t the first time Gokey’s songs have inspired pro-life perseverance. Check out his compelling personal story and the hit song “Hope in Front of Me” here.
“More Than You Think I Am” reminds me that, no matter how deep and how dark the battle, I am not alone. It also helps me remember that the God I serve is a God of justice and a God of compassion – both qualities necessary for us to display in the pro-life world.
You always think I’m somewhere on a mountain top
But never think behind bars
You’d be amazed at places that I’d go to be with you
Where you are
2. God of This City by Bluetree
This song touched me at a time when a big pro-life job I had undertaken had failed. It was not the end. And no failure – however big or small – has the final word.
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city
3. Mighty to Save by Hillsong
As a Christian who feels called to the pro-life battleground, this song is my personal anthem. I cry nearly every time I hear it – and I don’t cry that much.
Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
4. The Blessing by John Waller
Back in 2008, John Waller allowed my Personhood campaign to use this song as the background music for a video we showed in churches around Colorado. His song reminds me that working for life is an active choice we must make, and that this choice is always a personal blessing to us as well as to those we seek to serve.
Let it be said of us
That we spoke the words of life
Let it be said of us
That our heritage is blessing for life
5. Another One Bites the Dust by Queen
Ok, one of these is not like the others. I don’t find the entire song inspiring at all, but the chorus is another story. Seriously – as one LAN commenter has pointed out more than once – it’s simply perfect when abortion clinics close.
Alright, fellow pro-lifers, keep your heads up and stay inspired! I’d love to hear your personal pro-life anthems below.
