With Tongues Afire

wife of Lapidoth
              Deborah..God'appointee
              judge spiritual &
                                    secular
Huldah a prophetess whilst
               whilst in reserve Jeremiah
waited by
   no seal of silence
          did ever,ever apply

the Lord gives the word
           the women announce the news
no authority isusurped
order
    not disorder still rules nearby
edification
exhortation
and comfort
          prevails,as forthtold
          by Joel...of old

Miriam  prophesised and sang
the Samarian woman
called all to come   to Christ
an apostle of His message
then&now
professing godliness
       & gifted to teach

the Lord gives the word
women proclaim & preach

Tryphena,Trypgosa, 
        Persis ,all laboured in the Lord
Junia too
          of note it is said
Perpetua,Felicita both
                               of the martyred dead

Go tell my brethren      Mary do
with tongues afire
           Phillips daughters   four
Priscilla,Phoebe and
                Praise God since
                     many many more
with heaven touched lips,nothing lack
females
      the Good news
           now  regularly
                   unpack
