Clother Her In Purple (Tribute To Corretta Scott King)

Clothe her in purple For she must be dressed Sprinkle her with gold Indeed she is blessed Adorn her with strength And comfort her with love Prepare her with wisdom Always shine light from above Let her sing from the heart For nations will hear her cries Tears for equality, justice, and peace Escape her eyes Faithful and loyal She deserves her crown While he unchained the dream She helped hope take its place to remain unbound Her work never ends as she manages her home ‘She must be praised’ her children confessed Clothe her in purple She must be dressed
