Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over – IOTW Report

Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over

Oh little baby, you’ll never cry, nor will you hear a sweet lullabye

Oh unborn child, if you only knew just what your momma was plannin’ to do
You’re still a-clingin’ to the tree of life, but soon you’ll be cut off before you get ripe
Oh unborn child, beginning to grow inside your momma, but you’ll never know
Oh tiny bud, that grows in the womb, only to be crushed before you can bloom

Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over
Now stop, turn around, go back, think it over
Stop, turn around, go back think it over

Oh no momma, just let it be. You’ll never regret it, just wait and see
Think of all the great ones who gave everything
That we might have life here, so please bear the pain

Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over
Now stop, turn around, go back, think it over
Stop, turn around, go back think it over

  1. Yea, my main charity is still my local pregnancy center (The opposite of Planned Parenthood down the street). I will Give you David’s cry to God about his being, his foundation, and his future: Psalm 139 (ESV).
    “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.”
    “My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.”

    1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
    2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you discern my thoughts from afar.
    3 You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.
    4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
    behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
    5 You hem me in, behind and before,
    and lay your hand upon me.
    6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
    it is high; I cannot attain it.

    7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
    Or where shall I flee from your presence?
    8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
    If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
    9 If I take the wings of the morning
    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
    10 even there your hand shall lead me,
    and your right hand shall hold me.
    11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and the light about me be night,”
    12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.

    13 For you formed my inward parts;
    you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
    14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]
    Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
    15 My frame was not hidden from you,
    when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
    16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
    in your book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.

    17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
    18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.

    19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!
    O men of blood, depart from me!
    20 They speak against you with malicious intent;
    your enemies take your name in vain.[b]
    21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
    And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
    22 I hate them with complete hatred;
    I count them my enemies.

    23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
    Try me and know my thoughts![c]
    24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting

  2. @Mr. Butteadicus, Ahh, Episcopalian school. Back when that was “Catholic Lite” She was a good teacher! Good thing she didn’t live to see your screen name!

  3. I believe the passage is “Jesus Wept.” @Andre@Meerkat with all due respect.

    The shortest passage in the bible, TWO words.

    Says it all about a friend, no less, Lazurus.

  4. I heard about this song and bought the complete works of S&C.
    My wife has volunteered hours in the offices and we’ve done fundraisers for our local pregnancy centers.
    If a person won’t protect the least among us, what won’t they destroy?

  5. My first child was aborted by it’s mother in San Francisco in 1973. I only found out by accident several years later. I’ll always wonder if it was the daughter I never had.

  6. Do they even play Seals and Croft’s music anymore on the radio? It’s been ages since I’ve heard any of their music even on XM. Back in the day in the late 70’s my wife and I played their music to death on the cassette player on our 69 VW beetle. It’s a shame if they don’t since they play a lot of other crap still like Imagine or In The year 2525. Harper Valley PTA etc.

  7. It is reported that a teacher in Iowa contends that abortion is the only way to deal with an unwanted pregnancy in a little girl. As traumatic as the pregnancy probably is, abortion is not the only way to treat a baby created by God. If the girl child is cared for, she and the conceived baby can have a healthy and blessed life. It takes medical care, wise guidance, and sympathetic parents. Rep. King has no reason to be disturbed, but needs to be more informed. Little girls have had babies safely in the past. Usually reported in Catholic countries because they don’t allow abortions.
