Am I Changed?

Am I changed by what I see?

Or am I only a surveyor of things around me?

Do I root out evil in my midst?

Or do I notice but then carry on like it doesn't exist?

Am I quick to obey?

Or do I drag my feet?

Do I only act when I start to feel the heat?

Is my motivation pure or do I seek my own glory?

Would I do what I know is right if I knew people would shun or ignore me?

What if I knew the hard road ahead?

Would I still rise up...or roll over in bed?

Will I only weep when I have something to lose?

Or will I defend those who have no right to choose?

Oh Lord, help me for I am little and weak!

My only possesion is this one voice to speak,

Help me expose the lie that remains,

May my words not be in vain,

To those young sweet will be mothers,

Who feel trapped in their choice,

Think again, take a chance, give your baby a voice.
