3. The ground cried out with Abel’s blood,
heard in heaven’s throne.
These cries still go out day by day,
over 40 million more.
A nation that abides these acts,
will kill itself for sure.
The murdering of innocents
has opened death’s huge doors.
(Em) (Dm) (Em) (Dm)
This insanity must end, and selfless love prevail.
(Am)
Every life is precious, love will never fail.
(vamp on “love will never fail”)
