• I'm looking at a masterpiece
  I'm staring at a work of art
  I'm listening to a symphony
  In every beat of your tiny heart
  You used to be a choice to make
  But now I think you've chosen me
  'Cause I see ten fingers, ten toes
  Two eyes and I know this is meant to be
  Oh I don't believe in accidents
  Miracles, they don't just happen by chance
  As long as my God holds the world in his hands
  I know that there's no such thing as unplanned
  Broken turns to beautiful
  I see you right before my eyes
  And every single breath you breathe
  Is destiny love has brought to life
  I thought it was my story's end
  But now the future's all I see
  Instead of asking who you might've been
  I'm wondering who you're gonna be
  'Cause I don't believe in accidents
  Miracles, they don't just happen by chance
  As long as my God holds the world in his hands
  I know that there's no such thing as unplanned
  Every life deserves a voice
  Every child deserves a chance
  You are more than just a choice
  There's no such thing as unplanned
  Every life deserves a voice
  Every child deserves a chance
  You are more than just a choice
  There's no such thing as unplanned
  Every life deserves a voice
  Every child deserves a chance
  You are more than just a choice
  'Cause there's no such thing as unplanned Writer/s: ANDREW JACOB PRUIS, MATTHEW JOSEPH WEST

• A Survivor@Not An Accident: Your testimony touched my heart. My mother was offered money twice to abort me. Living in poverty with an alcoholic husband, my mother didn't appear to have to means to support a baby, so her boss and her mother offered her money to abort me. My mother was forced to have an abortion when she was younger by her grandmother and mother. It broke my mom's heart, and she still wakes up crying from nightmares about the abortion. Therefore, when she was an adult and pregnant with me, she was appalled at even the suggestion of aborting me. Till this day, she thanks God every day that she didn't abort me, and so do I :)
  
  The Declaration of Independence states that we are all endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, one of which is LIFE. Babies are people too, with rights. Choose life.

• Not An AccidentThis song has influenced me so much, and helped me believe that I was not an accident, that God created me for a purpose, and that He can redeem my story. It touched me in a most desperate place in my life, and it felt as though God was speaking directly to me through this song. My birth mother didn't intend to have me, and that resulting in her being unable to care for me and my brother, so we ended up in foster care. Over the years, it weighed on me, and I began to believe that I was an accident. But this song, and the Lord helped me believe that I was created for a purpose, it is a truly wonderful song, I have cried so much to it because every time I hear it, it touches a part of my heart that people haven't seen. I would recommend this song to anybody who has ever felt like I did and who needs hope.
