Women of the Word

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 3-23-22 Contest: We Salute You, Dear Women Sponsor: Beata Augustin
