A Beacon of Hope – The Mother’s Day Song
“Life begins at conception. God, and not man (or woman), is the Creator of human life. Therefore, from conception to natural death we need to protect and respect the sanctity of every human life. For the past four decades in America, the child in the womb has often been referred to as ‘a mere piece of tissue’. Moreover this little person has been thought of as a blank slate – without emotion, memory or the ability to communicate. Yet, studies and the use of today’s technology (in the same period) has revealed the unborn develops physically and mentally at an incredible rate, and is capable of remarkable feats”.**
Since 1973, more than 39,000,000 babies have lost their chance for a contribution to this beautiful country of America. That is more than 30 times the number of brave men and women who have lost their lives fighting for our freedom since the Revolutionary War in 1775. Every precious life that is saved would contribute an estimated amount of $270,000 through college graduation to to our financial economy. If 25% of those children lost to abortion each year were granted life, that equals $108,000,000,000 spent in food, housing, clothing, education and child-related products. Why does our government not talk about the tremendous job stimulus created by this financial impact? This unique song presents the hopes and dreams of an unborn baby singing to the Mother to save its live. The lyrics highlight the pressure from others concerning a pregnancy, which is typically unplanned and generally to young, out-of-wedlock future parents. However, the baby asks for this “one chance to laugh, to play and dance”. A Mother who makes the right choice to save her child’s life can seek help from charitable ministries for guidance and financial support. This song is dedicated to my lovely wife, Lynn, who gives generously of her time to A Beacon of Hope located in Johns Creek, Georgia. Please visit www.abeaconofhope.com for more information about this ministry. The center enrolls the expectant women into their church sponsored programs and supports the Mother and baby through the first two years of life. Our goal is to inspire these young women to make the spiritual choice of life. Please search for a similar organization in your community to support with your time, talents and financial gifts for this critically important cause. As the producer of this video and the songwriter of the lyrics, I would to express special thanks to the following people: Richard Kearney – music producer and song collaboration (great creative partner!) www.after3pmmusic.com. A Beacon of Hope staff and volunteers for their tireless dedication and inspiration. Amanda Smay & Teresa Saker – winners of the “Inspire Life” art contest featured in the video.
