''Woman''
When God created the things that are
At least he made a man
And took a rib of Adams there
to complete his wondrous plan
And from that rib, a creature made
And Adam named her Eve
Because she is mother of all that lives
The race she did conceive, She is fair and beautiful to see
As flowers the earth adorn, And though he took her out of man
All men of her are born
Though history. of her see, Is marked by stain of sin
Was woman,in Heaven chose Of her,the savior of men, A woman washed his feet in tears And wiped them with her hair
And when they laid him in the tomb
Was first to visit there And when the Son of God arose
To make his Victory known
To Mary Magdalene he went
First saw him all alone,Though woman did at first transgress
The serpent did beguile
She's also first in righteousness
God's service with a smile, And as you look around today
You'll see far more of Eve
And wonder if it isn't man now
The Serpent does deceive For woman seems to far excel
More faithful in the work
And all the chores of living here
She is seldom known to shirk
But should I pick her greatest part
Compare them one to other
I'd have to say with all my heart
The Greatest one is Mother
Mother mine and mother wife
And mother daughter's too
And Mother wive's of our sons
And Mother friends like you
High and honored is your place
Much more than Kings of men
So much meaning in the name
And so much Love therein!
