Perfectly crafted and resting as impotent,
Cradled in the hands of Him who is omnipotent. 
The inward parts You have made, 
Knitted together while covered by Your Shade.

Though my eyes have not opened,
I feel the comfort of Him who is arrayed in glory unseen, 
Yet I am not hidden, but fully seen. 
The anatomy of my body, from my ribs to my spleen, 
Designed and watched over from now into my teens… 
And up to my final breath.

Intricately woven, being created in the depths, 
Known before I was formed—yes, before life and death. 
The number of my days written in Your book, 
Long before I ever let out my first cry, 
While I open my eyes and look at this life You have provided. 
Lord, redeem those who are misguided.

This they know: I am a human from conception.
Stop their hands from murdering me and change their hearts to murder this deception.
Separate from my mother, yet I hear her say, "It’s my choice,"
And they conspire against life without considering my voice.

They make excuses, saying I’m a clump of cells, 
Then rip me apart while their lusts drown out my yells. 
Hear, oh, hear my message from the womb, 
With my perfect heartbeat and personality that is ready to bloom.
Stop allowing my home of creation to be the place of my tomb.
