Kathy Troccoli's Song Births Children
Christian music star Kathy Troccoli shares how her ministry has filled an important place in her life:
Being single at 42, I'm realizing I may never have a child. But God has repeatedly brought me stories from women who have chosen life over an abortion as a result of hearing a song I wrote.
At a concert in Dallas, I had just finished singing when a 21-year-old woman's voice came over the loudspeaker. She talked about when she was pregnant with her second child and was being encouraged to abort the baby. During that time, she had come to one of my concerts. I'd sung, "A Baby Prayer":
"But if I should die before I wake, I pray her soul you'll keep. 'Forgive her, Lord; she doesn't know that you gave life to me.'"
The Holy Spirit used that song to clinch her decision. She kept her baby.
God has shown me that more children have been born through that song than I could ever bear.
