Women of the Word

Some wore finest linen –
 Others wore wool; 
Some wore the silk of royalty – 
 Some wore cotton, some muslin;
Some were called to great things – 
 Others walked with sorrow
Some were called to ordinary days
 All were called by God

Some lived in a palace
 In Jerusalem
Some lived in a simple tent
 One from the land of Moab
Some lived in Judah
 In the flowing hills
Some made their home in far off Galilee
 All lived in the Lord.

And see, their lives reflect their God
These handmaids of the Lord
Oh, these women of the Word.

One was named Sarah
 One was called Ruth;
There was a queen named Esther
 Deborah, Martha and Anne;
Elizabeth and Abigail
 Tabitha and Hannah
A girl named Mary in quiet Nazareth
 All said “Yes” to God

And see, their lives reflect their God
These handmaids of the Lord
Oh, these women of the Word.

They plant the seeds to birth at harvest
 Grind the flour for the bread
Gather family at the table
 See that all who come are fed
Share their stories with the children
 Put their hands to every kind of task 
They are wives and mothers, sisters
 Who work and share their giftedness.

Some wear denim blue jeans
 Others love pink
They live their lives of faithful love
 Lives of courage and hope
They put their hands to simple tasks
 In the service of God
No matter which age they’re called to live
 They are women of the Word – 
Oh these Women of the Word
