Hidden Things

Hidden Things
Words & Music by Gina Boe, Lisa Qualsett, & Sue Smith

Behind the eyes a world unseen
of sleepless nights and silent screams
The self-inflicted suffering
Of slavery to hidden things
Buried in the darkest part
Shame and secrets rule my heart
Begging for the light to bring
Rescue from these hidden things

All these choices I have made
Break me in the deepest place
Can what’s been ruined ever be redeemed?
Is there hope for hidden things?

So much I feel but try to hide
The guilt and grief I hold inside
I wrestle with the memories
To keep them with the hidden things

All these choices I have made
Break me in the deepest place
Can what’s been ruined ever be redeemed?
Is there hope for hidden things?

Bolt and chain it with a smile
Hold the pain back
Hold the pain back
Bolt and chain it with a smile
If only for a little while

All these choices I have made
Break me in the deepest place
Can what’s been ruined ever be redeemed?
Is there hope for hidden things?

What Now?

What Now?
Words & Music by Paula Ellefson & Steve Siler

(Spoken)
This isn’t the right time
You can always have another
How will you take care of it?
You’re so not ready to be a mother

Why didn’t they stop me?
Why didn’t I stop myself?
How could they say I would soon be back to normal?
Didn’t they know that my heart would be broken?
Didn’t they know I would hate myself?
That the secret would poison relationships
and become my own private hell?
What now?
What now?

(Spoken)
Think of your future
Career and education
Can you count on the father?
It would be better if you waited

Why didn’t they stop me?
Why didn’t I stop myself?
Since this happened nothing feels like normal
Why didn’t I know how much I’d be tormented?
Why didn’t I know I could never forget?
That the trauma would color my days and nights
and would shadow my every step
What now?
What now?
What now?
What now?

Why did nobody stop me?
Why didn’t I stop myself?
How could they say I would soon be back to normal?

I didn’t know I would always feel guilty
Didn’t know I’d feel covered in shame
That the weight of a choice made in haste and fear
would become my own ball and chain
I didn’t know I’d always feel someone missing
I didn’t know I’d live with endless regret
That the anger would burn in my restless heart
For the pain I would have to relive
What now?
What now?
What now?
What now?

Stain Upon My Heart

Stain Upon My Heart
Words & Music by Missi Hale & Steve Siler

I’ve been breathing through a blanket
I’ve been walking under water
Every breeze an accusation
Every piece of bread a stone
I’ve been trying to swim through quicksand
I’ve been tangled in a wire
Every sunrise condemnation
Every path a broken road
But am I mistaken or is there a gentle whisper
If you can hear me I beg you please

Wash the stain on my heart
Break the chain I carry
Tell me you know everything
and tell me that you love me
Tell me mercy’s great enough
to see beyond my scars
and wash away the stain upon my heart

I’ve been drifting in a dark cloud
I’ve been circling the desert
Every dream another nightmare
Every cup filled with regret
Is this redemption, this subtle tug I’m feeling?
Is there forgiveness? Can I be free?

Wash the stain upon my heart
Break the chain I carry
Tell me you know everything
and tell me that you love me
Tell me mercy’s great enough
to see beyond my scars
Will you wash the stain upon my heart

Will you wash away these stains
Wash the stain on my heart
Break the chains I carry
Tell me you know everything
and tell me that you love me
Tell me mercy’s great enough
to see beyond my scars Jesus
Will you wash away the stain
Please wash away the stain upon my heart

Another Mother’s Day

Another Mother’s Day
Words & Music by Marcy Each & Bev Herrema

Another Mother’s Day.… and you’d be almost three
Singing silly made-up songs and playing hide and seek
In Sunday School you’d plant a flower in a paper cup
Then bring it to me proudly and give me a great big hug
But it’s another Mother’s Day…
Without you

Another Mother’s Day…. and you’d be seventeen
Maybe you’d look just like me for all the world to see
Complaining that I’m way too strict, but then in the next breath
Telling me that I’m the best mom you could ever have
But it’s another Mother’s Day…
Without you

In church they sometimes ask the moms to stand while people cheer
But I’ll just sit in silence like I’ve done for all these years
I thought there’d be another chance, that time would heal the wound
But even though I’m standing in God’s grace…
I still miss you

Another Mother’s Day.… and you’d be thirty-five
Highlights in your hair and tiny laugh-lines by your eyes
Of course you’d come for lunch today with all the kids in tow
And we would sit for hours telling tales from long ago
But it’s another Mother’s Day
Without you

In church the kids are singing, “Jesus loves me, this I know”
I panic for a moment like I used to long ago
But then my Savior helps me breathe, He calms me through and through
And offers hope that one day by His grace…
I’ll be with you

You'll Never Call Me Daddy

You’ll Never Call Me Daddy
Words & Music by Steve Siler

I had to decide and I wasn’t prepared
You were defenseless and I was running scared
Now there’s not a day goes by that I don’t think of you
and all the things we would have done that we’ll never get to do
cause

You won’t ride up on my shoulders
You won’t climb up on my lap
You won’t want a bedtime story or ask, Can we play catch?
You won’t squeeze me tight around my neck or shout Hey, look at me!
You’ll never call me Daddy

So many opinions I felt so confused
You were the voiceless one with everything to lose
Looking back I can’t believe it
I failed to count the cost
and everyday I feel the pain of the fatherhood I lost
cause

I won’t show you how to whistle
I won’t teach you how to swim
I won’t hear your silly songs or put your art up on the fridge
I won’t run along beside your bike so you won’t scrape your knees
You’ll never call me Daddy

I’m so sorry
Can you forgive me?
You needed me and I wasn’t there for you
I didn’t stop it and I can’t bring you back
Now I hope someone will listen to me if they have to choose

cause
No one rides up on my shoulders
No one climbs up on my lap
No one wants a bedtime story or asks, Can we play catch?
No one squeezes tight around my neck or shouts, Hey, look at me!
No one calls me Daddy
You’ll never call me Daddy

I Wasn't There

I Wasn’t There
Words & Music by Scott Krippayne & Steve Siler

A man protects
A man provides
A man stands tall
and does what’s right
That’s why I feel this guilt inside
and can’t seem to look you in the eye

You needed me
Our child did too
and it’s painful to admit the truth
I wasn’t there, I wasn’t there for you
I wasn’t there, I wasn’t there for you

The words come slow
There’s so much shame
from this failure I don’t want to name
But I know that there’s no way to heal
til I speak out loud the things I feel

You needed me
Our child did too
and it’s painful to admit the truth
I wasn’t there, I wasn’t there for you
I wasn’t there, I wasn’t there for you

If I’d known then what I know now
We could have made it work somehow

You needed me
Our child did too
and it’s painful to admit the truth
I wasn’t there
I wasn’t there for you
I wasn’t there
I wasn’t there

Listen with Love

Listen with Love
Words & Music Steve Siler

At a glance you’d say she’s got it all together
To look at her you’d think you know the truth
Inside she hides a secret she’s ashamed of
Afraid she’d be unwelcome if you knew
God already knows her story and He loves her
Which one of us could throw a stone and judge her?

We need to listen with love
Listen with love
May the church be a safe place to tell the truth
A new dawn will rise
Where there was darkness before
When we listen with love like the Lord

In the churches and cathedrals where we worship
We need hearts that long to hear and understand
When burdens can be laid down without shaming
Then healing can begin across our land

If we listen with love
Listen with love
May the church be a safe place to tell the truth
A new dawn will rise
Where there was darkness before
When we listen with love like the Lord

No more need for silence
Or living with a lie
To honor each one’s story
is to honor Christ

So let’s listen with love
Listen with love
May the church be a safe place to tell the truth
Then a new dawn will rise
Where there was darkness before
When we listen with love like the Lord
When we listen with love like the Lord

Hope Will Rise Again

Hope Will Rise Again
Words & Music by Steve Siler

When you step inside the church doors
The walls start closing in
You feel judging eyes surround you
Even though your secret’s hid
You think that I must hate you
That that’s what you deserve
But even when you hate yourself
I still see your worth, and

I’m not here to punish you
I’m not here to condemn
I’m here to heal your heart
so hope will rise again

Bring the past and all its choices
One by one into the light
Until truth and understanding
Bring new meaning to your life
I know it may be fearful
to let the story out
But it’s only through surrender
That freedom can be found

I’m not here to punish you
I’m not here to condemn
I’m here to heal your heart
and help new life begin
Peace is what I have for you
and love that’s without end
I know the plans I have for you
and hope will rise again

You cannot be separated from my love

I’m not here to punish you
I’m not here to condemn
I’m here to heal your heart
and help new life begin
Peace is what I have for you
and love that’s without end
I know the plans I have for you
and hope will rise
Hope will rise
Hope will rise
Hope will rise again

Broken into Beautiful

Broken Into Beautiful
Words & Music by Chad Cates, Gwen Smith, & Sue Smith

She’s smiling on the outside
But she’s hurting on the inside
It’s getting hard just living anymore
And the shadows she has clung to
Painful things that she has been through
Have left her feeling worthless, Lord… but

You change worthless into precious
and guilty to forgiven
Hungry into satisfied
Empty into full
And all the lies are shattered
And we believe we matter
When you change broken into beautiful

We live with accusations
Sometimes heavy expectations
That tell us we can never measure up
And yet you repeat with mercy
That in your eyes we are worthy
‘til at last we see how much we’re loved cause

You change worthless into precious
Guilty to forgiven
Hungry into satisfied
Empty into full
And all the lies are shattered
And we believe we matter
When you change broken into beautiful

Though we can’t see how we can stand before you Lord
And feel valued, priceless and adored

You change worthless into precious
Guilty to forgiven
Hungry into satisfied
Empty into full
You change worthless into precious
Guilty to forgiven
Hungry into satisfied
Empty into full
And all the lies are shattered
And we believe we matter
When you change broken into beautiful
Broken into beautiful

The Days Still Yet to Come

The Days Still Yet to Come
Words & Music by Steve Siler

I stuffed my feelings in a secret place
Locked them up and threw away the key
Built and barrier inside my heart
and shut out what I didn’t want to see
But the truth keeps on dripping like water
and it has an unquenchable thirst
You can’t hold it back forever
You’ll drown or the damn will burst

So I will tell my story
Share the shame that I’ve been running from
I’ll grow and learn, try to be a better man
and let it change the days still yet to come

No more living with remorse and regret
I’m unpacking all the guilt and the shame
Silence is no substitute for strength
and nobody wins when I hold on to pain
It’s time to let the light shine in the darkness
and speak all the things that I feel
Once I can really be honest
Then there is hope I can heal
I will tell my story
Bring the truth out into the sun
I’ll grow and learn, try to be a better man
and let it change the days still yet to come
These words might be what someone else needs
For me, what they mean
Is maybe now I can be free

So I will tell my story
Even though it’s hard to admit
Until I acknowledge what happened
I won’t make peace or find forgiveness
I know that I can’t change what came before
Yesterday can never be undone
I’ll grow and learn, try and be a better man
and let it change the days still yet to come
No longer will I hide
I will honor my child’s life
and let it change the days still yet to come
and let it change the days
The days still yet to come

We Forgive You

We Forgive You
Words & Music by Dwight Liles & Steve Siler

Would it have been a girl with a diamond smile?
or a darling boy with a dimpled chin?
Years have passed and still it makes you cry
Wishing you could have that choice again
Your heart aches every day for what might have been
You blame yourself for what can never be
You can’t begin to hope or dare believe
That such a loss could ever be redeemed
You’ve been so alone
You’ve felt so ashamed
But in the midst of your confusion
This is what you need to hear today

We forgive you
Your child is safe with me
& I’m holding your child close each time you pray
Please surrender
The guilt of your past and be free
We still love you
We forgive you

Every time you hear a child at play
Or see the glowing eyes of a mom to be
Old regrets crash in like tidal waves
As you relive the hidden tragedy
So harsh and so cold
You felt you had no choice
When you can’t believe you’ll find compassion
Just close your eyes and hear my voice

We forgive you
Your child is safe with me
& I’m holding your child close each time you pray
Please surrender
The guilt of your past and be free
We still love you
We forgive you
and something else
Please forgive yourself
Your child is not alone
Heaven is our home
We still love you
and we forgive you

I Lay it Down

I Lay it Down
Words & Music by Steve Siler

The abortion was a wound to our souls
A part of us died on that day
Like a dried flower pressed between the pages of a book
The life was gone but somehow it remained
It had to be somebody’s fault
How could I make such a mistake?
I’ve been so angry both at you and at myself
I guess we both share in the blame

Now I lay it down
Lay it all at God’s feet
All my anger with you
All my anger with me
I give up on believing blame turns anything around
It won’t
So I lay it down

It might have been another way
But I just couldn’t see it then
Looking back on our lives and all that led up to that day
Understanding is where healing can begin

So I lay it down
Lay it all at God’s feet
All my anger with you
All my anger with me
I give up on believing blame turns anything around
It won’t
So I lay it down

The condemnation we hold on to keeps us in the past
and no amount of punishing will bring the moment back
Oh…

So I lay it down
Lay it all at God’s feet
All my anger with you
All my anger with me
Mercy can bring healing, that’s the choice I’m making now
Letting go
I lay it down
I’m letting go
Now I lay it down

Your Life Has Made a Difference

Your Life Has Made a Difference
Words & Music by Gwen Smith & Steve Siler

You were real
You were here
My world changed forever
Because you lived and died
I was lost
Now I’m found
Your spirit is in Heaven
and cannot be denied

And so I give you a name
I light a candle in your honor
I will share the things you’ve taught me
and help others find their hope
I will tell the story
of a broken heart set free
And in everything I do become a witness
Your life has made a difference

You were flesh
You were soul
Something deep inside me
Transforming me with life
There was fear
Now there’s love
You’re forever with me
A never-ending light

So I lift up your name
Light a candle in your honor
I will share the things you’ve taught me
and help others find their hope
I will tell the story
of a broken heart set free
And in everything I do become a witness
Your life has made a difference

There is something here for every heart broken by abortion – healing, hope, comfort, and restoration. I wish everyone who needs this could hear it.

KIM KETOLA, AUTHOR OF CRADLE MY HEART

I’m not sure I have the words to adequately express how beautiful this project is…so powerful it dares to say what we feel but haven’t put into words. You’ve included the hurting woman, the hurting man, the loss of the child, the heart of God, and words to the body of Christ.

DAWN DAMON, PASTOR, AUTHOR, MENTOR - GRAND RAPIDS, MI

These songs are great and can address a multitude of issues. Vulnerability and connection are what we need. You’re getting inside our hearts.

GEORGETTE FORNEY, CO-FOUNDER, SILENT NO MORE AWARENESS CAMPAIGN, PITTSBURGH, PA

This is a must for any therapist’s toolbox as you walk your clients through the healing process of this traumatic and secretive issue. Can be used not only for after abortion care but also in Crisis Pregnancy Centers for prevention.

GREG HASEK, MA, MFT, LPC , SOUTHWEST FLORIDA CHRISTIAN COUNSELING, BONITA SPRINGS, FL

You’ve done a great job hitting the mark on the heart of the issues you’re addressing. This CD will be a great gift to the abortion wounded and I’m excited to give them to our participants.

KAREN ELLISON, DIRECTOR, DEEPER STILL, RETREAT CENTER FOR THE ABORTION-WOUNDED, KNOXVILLE,TN
