We Forgive You” is a beautiful, compassionate song that offers a message of hope and forgiveness for those who have experienced an abortion. It’s by Steve Siler of Music for the Soul, a Christian ministry that uses the power of songs and stories as a bridge to hope and healing for people facing life’s most difficult issues.
