Hidden Figures:Part 2 Courage Through Their Tears

When men tell a story They only state the facts But women add color commentary For its more than just white and black We mention those hidden figures Our fellow sisters in Christ We call them by their given names Their personas we bring to life Yet when one reads the stories In the Holy Scriptures You may notice those that are written by women Give the full gospel picture They wrote about the confidence That those women had to possess They wrote about the challenges That those women had to address They described the dangers That those women had to fear They chronicled the courage Those women embraced even thru their tears Those women pressed forward towards Their purpose never breaking stride They refused to sit in the windows of life's despair With the Holy Spirit they were ready to ride They prayed and cried through The pain of their circumstances For prayer is the key that opens doors To opportunity and second chances And our tears are the unspoken language That only God can understand For when we cry God does realize That we need His mighty hands Tears can lead to triumph And wash in a new victory So be courageous, confident And bold with full capability Hidden figures our sister in Christ Women who were called To follow their destinies with courage through the tears That from their eyes did fall
