This afternoon Pastor Doug Russell from Herman Community Church sent over a link to “Who Will?”, a 1989 recording by DeGarmo & Key. Though a veteran pro-life activist for more than 40 years, I had never heard this song. But  boy, I’m delighted I finally got round to it. Thank you, Doug, for your VERY encouraging remarks and for sharing this inspirational song. I couldn’t help but do the same.

It’s in his image they’re created

Each one a precious gift of life

How can we steal away their future?

What gives us the power? What gives us the right?

Who will stand up for the children?

Who will fight the battle for them?

Who will speak up for the unborn child?

They long for life with every heartbeat

They speak with tiny hands and feet

But who will help our nation hear them?

It is up to you and it is up to me

Who will stand up for the children?

Who will fight the battle for them?

Who will speak up for the unborn child?

Who is gonna be the voice

For those who have no say or choice?

My heart tells me what I must do

It is up to me and it is up to you

Who will? (we will)

Who will? (we will, we will)

Who will speak up for the unborn child?

Who will? (we will)

Who will? (we will, we will)

Who will speak up for the unborn child?

Who will stand up for the children? (we will)

Who will fight the battle for them? (we will, we will)

Who will speak up for the unborn child?

But be doers of the word,
and not hearers only.
