There are moments when we might question why in the world we&#8217;ve taken the burden of saving lives on our shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>A few things keep me going &#8211; my ever-encouraging husband, looking into the eyes of my own children, confidence that I&#8217;ve been called by the God I serve, and music. Yep, music.<\/p>\n<p>When I&#8217;m alone in the car, I love to turn up my radio all the way, and let the music blast. Here are five songs I hope inspire you to keep on fighting, until every, single life &#8211; from fertilization to natural death &#8211; is valued as it should be.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a special &#8220;pro-life anthem&#8221; of your own, share it with us all in the comments.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><strong>1. More Than You Think I Am by Danny Gokey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RYTPE5B1zyg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Gokey&#8217;s songs have inspired pro-life perseverance. Check out his compelling personal story and the hit song &#8220;Hope in Front of Me&#8221; <a href=\"\/news\/danny-gokey-and-hope-in-front-of-me-rising-music-star-affirms-that-every-life-is-worth-living\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;More Than You Think I Am&#8221; reminds me that, no matter how deep and how dark the battle, I am not alone. It also helps me remember that the God I serve is a God of justice <em>and<\/em> a God of compassion &#8211; both qualities necessary for us to display in the pro-life world.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You always think I&#8217;m somewhere on a mountain top<\/p>\n<p>But never think behind bars<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d be amazed at places that I&#8217;d go to be with you<\/p>\n<p>Where you are<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>2. God of This City by Bluetree<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VgGjUi0tOTc\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This song touched me at a time when a big pro-life job I had undertaken had failed. It was not the end. And no failure &#8211; however big or small &#8211; has the final word.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Greater things have yet to come<\/p>\n<p>And greater things are still to be done in this city<\/p>\n<p>Greater things have yet to come<\/p>\n<p>And greater things are still to be done in this city<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>3. Mighty to Save by Hillsong<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m-DNlvXPfU4\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As a Christian who feels called to the pro-life battleground, this song is my personal anthem. I cry nearly every time I hear it &#8211; and I don&#8217;t cry that much.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Savior<\/p>\n<p>He can move the mountains<\/p>\n<p>My God is mighty to save<\/p>\n<p>He is mighty to save<\/p>\n<p>Forever<\/p>\n<p>Author of salvation<\/p>\n<p>He rose and conquered the grave<\/p>\n<p>Jesus conquered the grave<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>4. The Blessing by John Waller<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sWs-4tPGMGE\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Back in 2008, John Waller allowed my Personhood campaign to use this song as the background music for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kTQH4MMhwYk\">a video we showed in churches<\/a> around Colorado. His song reminds me that working for life is an active choice we must make, and that this choice is always a personal blessing to us as well as to those we seek to serve.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Let it be said of us<\/p>\n<p>That we spoke the words of life<\/p>\n<p>Let it be said of us<\/p>\n<p>That our heritage is blessing for life<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>5.

I don&#8217;t find the entire song inspiring at all, but the chorus is another story. Seriously &#8211; as one LAN commenter has pointed out more than once &#8211; it&#8217;s simply perfect when abortion clinics close.<\/p>\n<p>Alright, fellow pro-lifers, keep your heads up and stay inspired!
