Beautiful Life




Beautiful life inside
Living, moving, breathing
So let Hope arise
God knew what He was doing when He gave
Beautiful, beautiful life

Dear sister, I hear the place you at
I know it ain't nothing easy 'bout goin' through that
There's a baby in your womb but you wasn't tryna do that
You'd take it all back if you knew that, but you ain't have a clue that
That time with your boyfriend, that late night
When you thought you was makin' love that you would make life
And now it's feelin' unfair, man it ain't like
You ain't got a life, shoot the time, it really ain't right
Can't quite tell you that I understand your pain
But I know you shouldn't feel discouraged and ashamed
And I know that baby in your stomach came to gain
He's got a heartbeat, he's 'bout to grow a little brain
He's dependin' on his momma, God already knows his name
You're made in God's image and that baby is the same, give him life

Beautiful life inside
Living, moving, breathing
So let Hope arise
God knew what He was doing when He gave
Beautiful, beautiful life
Beautiful, beautiful life
When He gave beautiful, beautiful life
Beautiful, beautiful life

Dear brother, I know you're probably caught off guard
But that seed in her stomach so your heart aches hard
Feelin' trapped like prison is behind those bars
The hand's been dealt but you don't wanna take those cards
Homie stop, and think about the choice
That baby in her womb, she ain't really got a voice
So she really needs her Daddy to love her and rejoice
She's a blessing from the Lord, she don't need to be destroyed
Don't abandon her momma, love her and support her
She's in pain now too, she needs someone there for her
But don't let her hurt your babygirl alive in the womb
'Cause homie, you'll be lookin' in her eyes really soon
Hey, don't get me wrong, look I agree that we should give women rights
That goes for unborn women too, give 'em life

Beautiful life inside
Living, moving, breathing
So let Hope arise
God knew what He was doing when He gave
Beautiful, beautiful life
Beautiful, beautiful life
When He gave beautiful, beautiful life
Beautiful, beautiful life

Dear friends, I know this probably hurts
For those of you who wish you would've gave that baby birth
But it's too late now 'cause your child ain't around
I know it hurts to your core, that guilt is weighin' you down
But I've got good news and some healing for your hurts
Christ Jesus came, He descended to the Earth
But He ain't come for good people or even the just
He came into the world just for sinners like us
So yeah, He's really grieved when we take a baby's life
'Cause He made 'em, but He came to save us from our plight
He came shinin' light that He could save us from our night
Erases all our shame, homie, He can make us right
Confessin' and believin' on the One who paid you cost
He died in your place, there's forgiveness at the cross, He can give us life

Beautiful life inside
Living, moving, breathing
So let Hope arise
God knew what He was doing when He gave
Beautiful, beautiful life
Beautiful, beautiful life
When He gave beautiful, beautiful life
Beautiful, beautiful life
