Shield and Protect
Be with the beating hearts
Lungs who've yet to draw in and know breath
Eyes yet to open
Ears yet to listen
Mouths yet to speak
Of soul's been received
Shield and protect those little ones
Who's mother's refuse
Shield and protect those little ones
Who's father's know no love but of themselves
Hold those little fingers
Comfort the tears unknown to those
Whose eye's can't see
Whose ears don't listen
Whose mouth's won't speak up
To defend the soul's of those conceived
Turn Your ears to this prayer, Oh Father
Turn these humble words into actions as fierce as love can stir
Increase Your Mercy
Increase our faith
Forgive those who erase the very image of Yourself
In which You created in the very image of Yourself
And, empower the weak and repressed
To open the eyes and ears and mouths
Of us in need of Your sweet Mercy and Forgiveness
Shield and protect those little ones
Grant them open gates
Should their mother's and father's remain rooted in pride and selfishness
