A Lament For The Murdered Unborn
God, why does the selfish evil continue?
Hidden behind sterile walls
Millions of cries, snuffed out and before their time
Will you not uphold justice?
Woe to us who call good evil and evil good
When will it come to an end?
I know you are faithful and will judge in your time
I know you will one day make all things right
I know you can raise the dead
Deliver us from the influence of the evil one
Deliver us from ourselves
Help us to wait for you and move with you
We will wait and trust
God, why does the selfish evil continue?

I know you will one day make all things right
I know you can raise the dead
Deliver us from the influence of the evil one
Deliver us from ourselves
Help us to wait for you and move with you
We will wait and trust

MALEDICTION
by Kemper Crabb
The judges sat outside the Law
And in their pride no evil saw
In setting teeth to Satan's jaw
And feeding him our children.
When viewed in terms of cost and ease
An unborn child is a disease
A holocaust seen fit to please
Our own convience.
A curse A curse the Law it cries.
A curse a curse on mankind's pride.
A curse on him who would deny
God's image in mankind.
Torn from out their mother's womb
Denied the sky - denied a tomb
Conceived in lust to their own ruin
A sacrifice to pleasure.
The doctors with their blood red hands
Who love their money more than man,
With greed their god they lay their plans
The butchers of mankind.
A curse a curse the blood cries out
A curse a curse the heavens shout
A curse a curse on he who flouts
God's image in mankind.
O rid us of this evil, Lord
And turn our hearts by cross or Sword.
Our nation cannot long afford
To live beneath your judgements.
A curse a curse upon their heads
O save them Lord or slay them dead
And fill our country with your Dread
And turn away Your anger.
Thanks for posting this! I am doing a chapter by chapter review of Wright's book, "The God I Don't Understand," and included a link to your lament.
