Matthew West’s pro-life ‘Unplanned’ song beautifully describes preborn baby
Christian singer-songwriter Matthew West has penned many beloved songs, such as “Grace Wins,” “Forgiveness,” “Do Something,” and “You are Everything.” And now, West has put his talent behind the new pro-life movie, “Unplanned,” with a title track of the same name.
The song, says West, was written “from the perspective of someone seeing their baby for the first time. Tried to capture the feelings I had when I first heard my daughter’s heartbeat; the overwhelming sense of a life that is precious, a miracle & a gift.”

The lyrics of the song speak powerfully of the humanity of the child in the womb. In part, they read:
I’m looking at a masterpiece I’m staring at a work of art I’m listening to a symphony In every beat of your tiny heart You used to be a choice to make But now I think you’ve chosen me ‘Cause I see ten fingers, ten toes Two eyes and I know this is meant to be
Oh I don’t believe in accidents Miracles, they don’t just happen by chance As long as my God holds the world in his hands I know that there’s no such thing as unplanned
