Sometimes when the abortion issue is discussed there is a tension between those who see themselves as advocates for women and those who want to be a voice for the child in the womb. But isn't the true middle ground to love them both? Listen as Tammy Sears tells us what inspired her and her husband, David, to write the song, Lifeline, which challenges us to reach out to both mother and child, to "make this a beginning, not an end."

Click here if you'd like to buy this song or the accompaniment track so that you can use this song to be a voice at your own church or PRC event. (The proceeds from sales will be donated to the Sears' local PRC. Their church has already donated $3000 from CD sales!) Or you can download the sheet music (pdf) if you want to provide your own accompaniment as you sing the song.
