This Time - John Elefante

[00:13.47]She sat cold in a waiting room,
[00:16.21]frightened and all alone
[00:19.07]Watched the clock tick down,
[00:21.10]knowing that her baby would soon be gone
[00:25.61]Her head slung low, so embarrassed
[00:28.37]She was 13 years old
[00:31.43]She felt a kick inside as a reminder
[00:34.62]of a life she couldn't show
[00:37.94]Then she heard a voice inside say \"Run away!
[00:43.67]It was a mistake, but don't throw your child away!\"
[00:50.47]Then she fell into a light sleep,
[00:53.65]had a dream about a little girl
[00:56.62]There was a birthday cake and three candles
[00:59.88]She was living in another world
[01:02.94]She saw the little girl become a woman,
[01:06.62]living in a happy home
[01:09.95]Then she was suddenly awakened
[01:12.46]by a voice that called her name
[01:15.22]They said, \"Don't worry, you'll be fine.
[01:21.38]You're still young, we see this all the time.\"
[01:29.21]Right then the Lord began to speak:
[01:32.59]\"You're not taking this one! She's Mine!
[01:35.55]She'll grow up and seek My name.
[01:38.91]You're not taking her! She's Mine!
[01:43.50]And you're not taking her this time.
[01:49.53]No, you're not taking her this time.\"
[01:57.68]She laid flat on the table
[01:59.98]She asked \"Please, can I talk to someone?\"
[02:03.00]But a headstrong woman with a blank stare
[02:06.53]said \"We've gotta get this done.\"
[02:09.62]Then she cried out, \"Lord, please help me!
[02:13.00]I've got to get to a phone!
[02:16.48]I need to call my momma
[02:18.89]to help me find my baby a home!\"
[02:21.66]They said, \"Don't worry, you'll be fine.
[02:27.85]You're still young, we see this all the time.\"
[02:35.59]Right then the Lord began to speak:
[02:39.07]\"You're not taking this one! She's Mine!
[02:42.20]She'll grow up to seek My name.
[02:45.37]You're not taking her this time.
[02:48.29]I decided before time began.
[02:51.51]Her name is written in the Book.
[02:54.73]They didn't have the power to take her life.
[02:58.00]They're not taking her - she's Mine!
[03:02.80]You're not taking her this time.
[03:08.83]No, you're not taking her this time.\"
[03:25.11]This time
[03:27.83]No, you're not taking her this time
