David's testimony is
powerful and impacting on youth.
He was on
Broadway, was the US National tour of "Cats", had co-starred in movies for Paramount and Columbia Pictures. His
girlfriend was a doctor (M.D.) and a professional dancer with well known
dance troop. She was also being considered to become the first woman in space. They had an abortion to save their careers. However, his
girlfriend fell into depression after the abortion and David lost his voice
on US National Tour of Cats and couldn't talk for 3
years. It ended his career.
After a powerful experience with Jesus, his voice healed and now David is singing for the Lord and the unborn. He leads thousands of people in song at Canada's National March for Life each year. He gave his testimony and sang for the National Capital Youth for Life, has appeared on numerous TV & radio shows giving his testimony of a man's experience with abortion. He was chosen by EWTN to represent Canada at the International Marian Song Festival where he performed "Life is the Only Choice." The Catholic music network says.
[Legacy of Love] is the homage to our beginnings, providing a great pro-life anthem: ".God's been working on you. He's been making every bone and every sinew of this miracle, you are the union the blessed communion of Heaven and earth..." Those are the lyrics to "Legacy of Love."
There is no doubt about the miracle of life. True to this is the awesome title track of this CD. "Life Is The Only Choice" speaks of someone who has chased the emptiness that the world offers and gave up their child in abortion to keep that lifestyle. The person now hears the prayers of the Mother of God for these people who battle for the right to choose. This is not only a pro-life song, but one that echoes Mary's love for us. That's why it was an excellent choice for the Marian Song Festival [in Guatemala].
Salt & Light TV producer Pedro Gueverra Mann said in a feature:
"I'm not the only one who is thinking about life issues these days and to sing about that there is no one in Canada better than David MacDonald." (Entertainment News, 2005)

David is a member of "Silent no More" and participated in a ground breaking event in Canada where 14 mothers and fathers of aborted children gave their testimonies in front of Canada's Parliament for thousands of people. He shared the stage with Fr. Frank Pavone director of Priests for Life at Rose Dinner in Ottawa. He has toured Poland, Guatemala, Guam (Southeast Asia), Germany, Canada and into the US giving his testimony and sharing his music. He has a weekly radio show in Ottawa Canada, which includes frequent pro life themes.

Life the first human right (audio MP3)
Note: it takes a couple of minutes to load audio. ChorusLife, no love could be deeper
Life, no gift could be sweeter
Life, the work of the Healer
The first human right
Life, the hope of the nation
Life, the next generation
Life, the greatest creation
The first human right, LifeWe cannot kill and call it freedom
As we walk the shifting sand
In the darkness on the road
That takes us to a nowhere land
The children are human
Can you hear the beating hearts(repeat chorus)
We’re in a crisis as the morals
All around us tumble down
We cannot euthanize
We cannot push our parents in the ground
Life must be higher
Than any other right(repeat chorus)
Life is the Only Choice
i was climbing the ladder
i didn't know my morals were shattered
by my ambition
i was looking for glamour
i didn't know I was taking a hammer
to my conscience and everything I should have treasured
i was lost in this world
that knows nothing about love, nothing about lifeChorus
Mother Mary i can hear your prayer
for all the mothers and the fathers out there
who battle for the right to choose
but don't know what they are going to lose
hey Jesus i can hear your voice
"life is the only choice"turns out what I was chasing
was nothing more than racing
into emptiness, chasing the wind
i lost my mind and everything i owned
i lost my child and i lost my soul
in the mad rush for security,
i didn't know life is precious
from beginning to end
it's something we must defendi woke up crying
and I felt like dying
the night I realized what I had done
Father forgive me
let your Spirit be with mei wish i hadn't been so confused
i wish i'd known what i was going to lose
i wish i'd heard my baby cry
"mommy and daddy let me stay alive"
hey Jesus, I can hear your voice

Born at 21 weeks
The papers showed your tiny feet
People talking all about
You in the streetsThey couldn’t understand it
How this miracle occurred
You gave your voice
To a million still unheardIn that hospital
Where they saved your precious life
Two floors up
They give another child the knifeChorus
Justice
In the face of innocence
Justice in a political storm
Justice
In the age of decadence
Justice for the unbornA tiny prophet crying
For a generation lost
Your life is a reflection
Of what this thing has cost
Thank you for your courage
You came though and showed us life
Amillia, you have shown us
what is wrong and what is rightThe law has failed the Truth
But the Truth well never bend
40 years we’re fighting
We’ll stand here ‘til the endThere will come a day when all will understand
What it truly means to have freedom in this land--------------------------------------------------
Let Them Live
by David MacDonald ©2002
let them live, let them live
for the Lord made life
it's Heaven's greatest gift
let them live, let them live
for the Lord made life
it is only his to giveYou formed my innermost being
You knit me in my mother's womb
i give thanks that i'm fearfully made
how wonderful are Your works (ps 139:13-14)
You knew my name before i was born (jn 29:11)
You knew my heart before it formed
You knew the colour of my eyes
You know what a mother has inside
Father i can hear You sayYou knew the colour of my hair
You knew if it'd be dark or fair
You gave me lungs to breathe Your air
You gave me love that i could share
You put the fingerprint in my hand
You gave me a mind to understand
You gave me ears so i could hear
every word You whisper in my ear
Father i can hear You sayYou know what this world can't hide
though its turned its back and closed its eyes
You know every child from the dawn of time (eph 1:4-7)
i lie awake and i hear them cry (mat 2:18)------------------------------------------

Elizabeth's baby leaped inside her womb
for a moment they bowed and prayed
to the Holy One the Light the Waytwo thousand years since that glory day
mothers of the world gather in his name (Jesus)
each one is carrying expectant faith
raise your hands everybody and celebratechorus
let the eagle fly, let the rocks proclaim ...You
let the heavens ring in your Righteous Name
let the rivers overflow with life
for the King of Creation
and the children of the Lightlet all the fathers jump for joy

Yes to Lifeby David MacDonald
Listen to the song, download an MP3 here
In 1930 a storm was raging
Christians divided
but the Truth was unchanging
The floodgates broke
Evil awoke
The devil spoke
to life he said “No!”But there was a prophet
Who spoke to the nations
Pope Paul the VI held the wisdom of ages
He said…Chorus
Yes to Life (3x)
Between a man and a wife (Yes to You Jesus)
Yes to LifeFour generations have come and gone
The cultural of death is still raging on
Adultery, abortion, divorce and diseases
Are the fruits of the devil
When he gets what he pleasesBut we are an army whose numbers are growing
We will not stop ‘til the last trumpet’s blowing
We say…(repeat chorus)
Love is patient Love is kind
Love is open to the author of life
Love will overcome the darkness of evil
Cause the angels are praying with all of God’s peopleThey sing…
(repeat chorus)

by David MacDonald ©2005
theme song for the 2006 Canadian National March for LifeLord God, help me understand
Where we’re taking this Promised Land
So much talk about human rights
What’s more basic than the right to life?A wave of death from sea to sea
But we're denying the reality
We'll be facing our darkest fears
As our leaders turn a deafened ear
Our country is disappearingChorus
Abortion is killing the hope of the future
We can’t go on pretending
That we don’t know where it’s ending
We’ve got to stop this
Distortion of what this county is believing
The message we’re receiving
What we’re sowing and reaping
‘Cause in God’s eyes every life is preciousYoung people take a look around
Half your generation is in the ground
How many could have been your friends
They were brought to a tragic endCan you stand up and lend your voice
To the victims who have No Choice
Let this nation hear the silent screams
Of innocent blood and long lost dreams
This is anything but freedomDon’t you wonder what they could have changed
Could have found a cure, but they died unnamed
Little martyrs crowned with thorns
More have died than in all our warsBuy David's CD' "The Pro Life Pro Family Collection"

María José
By David MacDonald, © 2004
The Son is falling
On the Antigua sky
María José is closing her eyes
As she prays for her mother and father and friends
she’s got a new life in Jesus, never going to endThere’s a miracle unfolding with every new day
In a little senorita we call María José
I fall on my knees thank God and pray
For life he’s given to María JoséLet her love grow
Into your light
Let her life show
All of your might
Let a choir of angels
Surround all her nights
Let your love shine brightTe Exaltamus Santo Senor
Dios Nuestro Santo Senor--------------------------------------------------------
Fly on Home
(Natural Death)Music by David MacDonald
Lyrics by Amy Thayer & David MacDonaldThree score ten
and a dozen years
You hear a silent calling
It quiets all your fearsThe wind’s in your hair
and your heart has been set free
Your soul is on the wing
Fly on home, fly on home
Fly on home to JesusThere’s no way they can hold you
The walls are made of dust
This world can’t trap you
It’s iron bars will rustPretty little songbird left the cage
Fly to the forest flying to her mate----------------------------------------------------------
I am God's Idea
Author unknown
I am God's idea,
I did not come by chance
I am God's idea
I'm not a happenstanceI am God's idea,
Sent to you in His time
While I've come from the heart of God
I'm part of His designBorn to live in His love
In His image am I
Born to know and to love him
And to serve him till I dieAnd when you are old
I will care for you
I will be the eyes and ears
And the voice that sings in you--------------------------------------------------------
One Man One Woman

marriage legislationDownload MP3

Full version (4.3 mb)
They say that it is freedom
But you know I don't believe them
'Cause Lord I have seen them
Try to change your WordThey say that it is progress
I couldn't help but notice
The world is looking hopeless
With every passing hourThe fountain of life
Is a man and his wife
One Man, One woman
It's how you wrote the Book LordRefrain
One Man, One woman
It's how you gave us life Lord
One Man, One woman
It's written in the Book of LifeThey say they wanna be fair
They say it's gonna get us there
But I think we're gonna need prayer
To teach our children your ways
King of all creation
Pour your healing on our nation
Lead us to salvation
Hear our prayer Lord JesusThe fountain of life
Is a man and his wife
One Man, One woman,
It's how you wrote the Book Lord(Refrain)
Lord I hear you calling
To a world that's falling
You are standing
at the gate of life and death
Freedom is to choose you
It is not to loose you
Heal the broken hearted
And lead them in your waysWe've Got to Organize
©2007 David MacDonald
From east to west from sea to sea
A voice rising up from among God’s people
From north to south
We’ve got to shout it out
We’ve got to break the chains
And take the muzzles off
We’ve got to come togetherWe’ve got to organize
We’ve got to fight the lies (last time: Before our county dies)
We won’t apologize
As we come against the tide
We will not shrink or hide
But we will rise up high
We’ve got to organizeFrom every corner of this blessed land
Every denomination every outstretched hand
Raise our hearts to God listen to His plan
And find the strength in Him
Where we can take a stand
We’ve got to come togetherDarkness has fallen on our land
But we know the One who is the great I AM
We will not let them silence the Lamb
We are his people together we stand (He is our man)
As the unborn are cries
As the family dies
We will not stay silent
We will organize
