Christian singer-songwriter Matthew West has penned many beloved songs, such as “Grace Wins,” “Forgiveness,” “Do Something,” and “You are Everything.” And now, West has put his talent behind the new pro-life movie, “Unplanned,” with a title track of the same name.

The song, says West, was written “from the perspective of someone seeing their baby for the first time. Tried to capture the feelings I had when I first heard my daughter’s heartbeat; the overwhelming sense of a life that is precious, a miracle & a gift.”

The lyrics of the song speak powerfully of the humanity of the child in the womb. In part, they read:

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 love

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….

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….
