HELP ME DECIDE

When I was young, barely nineteen,
The world in my hands, or so it seemed
I was in love with a young man,
Things were good, we were making plans
To be together, our love was forever
One fateful day everything changed,
I always remember that cold rainy day
Told him a baby was coming soon,
With words of anger, he said I must choose
My heart fell to the floor, as he walked out the door
As I sat there alone with tears rolling down
Conflicting emotions just spinning around
I fell on my knees and in my shame
Raised up my hands and called out His name
Dear Jesus I cried, please help me decide
With all odds against me how can I even try
Please tell me how, can I do this now
And leave the life I’m living,
for the new life that’s growing inside
Please help me decide.....
As I prayed, I felt arms of love,
Comforting me and a voice above
Said “you know in your heart what to do
Don’t be afraid, I will be with you”
Oh, I embraced, oh the task that I faced
With anticipation the day had come,
I looked in the eyes of my precious son
I kissed him gently and held him close,
And with all my strength, I prayed for us both
Dear Jesus I cried, please help me decide
With all odds against me how can I even try?
Please tell me how, to be a good mother now
And teach him that life is worth living
and the way to the truth and the light.
Please help me decide................
All grown up, my son came to me and said “mom, she’s having a baby”…
Dear Jesus I cried, please help him decide,
With all odds against him, please help him to try
Please show him how, he can do this now
And leave the life he’s living, for the new life that’s growing inside
Please help him decide……………………..
