This song comes from the perspective of mankind crying out to God in disbelief - that we end lives of our own children. It is a travesty that a childs own mother - the one chosen to be a refuge for him while he grows ,to protect him and whose body, by design, is a safe place - would choose to end his life.

And its a tragedy that mankind allows this barbaric act.

This lyrics to this song are strong - but lets not forget the act of abortion. What could be harsher than a defenseless baby being murdered. Countless babies each day.....remember them in your prayers.

For the ones without a voice,
Debbie McCurry

A precious little child - you've entrusted to my care.
You have placed him in my womb-there's protection for him there.
You already know his name - and for his life you've made a plan.
He will live it unto you as he grows into a man.

Oh but the enemy will tear him down by the hand of the one...
...you have chosen to call him her son.

Oh it's a tragedy, a travesty, how could it be...
that we're killing our own sons.
Oh I can't believe the suffering that our babies must endure.
Oh My God - tell me what is the killing for?

Or perhaps it'll be a girl - with curly locks of hair.
She's already found her thumb - and of her toes she is aware.
Will she like to play with dolls - or will she climb the trees instead.
Will you fill her heart with song - will she obey as she is led.

Oh but she'll never see the light of day or feel the sun upon her face.
She'll be torn helplessly from her safe place.

Oh it's a tragedy, a travesty, how could it be...
that we kill our little girls.
Oh I can't believe the suffering that our babies must endure.
Oh My God - tell me what is the killing for?

Can we be so blind - Is it any women's right..
...to end one of these lives.
Oh but we've made our plan-invade and attack their helpless little lives.
We're there to kill...to steal...and to destroy.

Oh it's a tragedy, a travesty, how could it be...
that we kill these little ones.
Oh I can't believe the suffering that our babies must endure.
Oh My God - tell me what is the killing for?
Oh My God - tell me what is the killing for?
Oh My God - tell me what ....what is the killing for?
