HOW MANY IS THE NUMBER
HOW MANY DID WE KILL
HOW MANY DID WE SLAUGHTER
AGAINST THY HOLY WILL
TOO MANY IS THE NUMBER
TOO MANY HAVE WE KILLED
TOO MANY HAVE WE SLAUGHTERED
HOW MANY MORE WILL STILL
BE MURDERED IN THE WOMB
BE BUTCHERED BY THE KNIFE
BE TOSSED AWAY LIKE GARBAGE
AND DEPRIVED OF ANY LIFE
WHEN WILL WE SEE THE HORROR
THAT'S CLEAR BEFORE OUR EYES
WHEN WILL WE HEAR THE ECHOES
OF THEIR SILENT, HELPLESS CRIES
OH, LORD, CANST THOU FORGIVE US
AS WE BOW OUR HEADS IN SHAME
OH, LORD, HOW CAN WE JUSTIFY
FOR WE ARE FILLED WITH BLAME
HOW MANY IS THE NUMBER
HOW MANY MORE TO COME
HOW MANY WILL BE SACRIFICED
BEFORE THIS DAY IS DONE
THANK YOU, LORD
